Parents and Children
- Matthew Ritchie, British, 1964-
- Born: London, England
- Work Locations: New York, NY
Matthew Ritchie's stunning installation "Parents and Children" is a favorite, undoubtedly due to its beauty, visual and conceptual complexity, and dynamic use of the gallery space. Indeed, the artist himself was integral in establishing the installation's orientation in the gallery.
The diversity of media and imagery in the wall piece, floor sculpture, and lightbox combine to form a discreet space that illuminates Ritchie's interest in what he calls "the transformation of energy into matter." His imagination is captivated by a host of sources such as physics, mathematics, religion, popular culture, alchemy, and time - all seemingly in the process of falling into place like puzzle piece with some as yet unknown resolution.
