Roxy Paine
Roxy Paine is noted for his interest in natural forms and their dual benign and malignant qualities. He explored the culinary, poisonous, and psychedelic possibilities of mushrooms in naturalistic sculptural paintings, and planted Bluff, a life size steely presence, in Central Park during the 2002 Whitney Biennial.
In his Graphicstudio collaboration, Paine has delivered a challenging work: Head Cheese, a sculptural meditation upon the visually arresting cold cut commonly available in grocery stores. After intensive research, Graphicstudio artisans devised a method for casting the piece: dozens of gallons of epoxy resin (“gelatin”) and hundreds of bits of colored and textured epoxy resin (“meat pieces”) are poured into a loaf mold and allowed to cure. The unique sculptural loaf is accompanied by two-inch thick Head Cheese slices. Head Cheese was displayed in November 2005 at the James Cohan Gallery in New York City.
