Robert Cremean

Cremean translates some of his well known and widely accepted wood and fabric sculptures into bronze. In the thumbprint sketches for larger works and in the smaller complete statements there is a dabbled freedom. In the larger works, where the typical straps, laces, and bolts lock the figure into their mutilated mansion settings, one feels that wood and fabric are more honest materials. However, until the newness of the fledgling foundries in the San Francisco area wear off we will probably see more bronze work than we are used to. The wall reliefs offer a better solution than painting to his less than three-dimensional interests.
