Gerzso as Sculptor |
||||||||
Gerzso working on Semblantes Although critics have long noted the architectural and scenographic aspects of Gerzso's paintings, it was not until he received a commission in 1978 from the silver company Tane that Gerzso created a three dimensional work of art. This effort Tataniuh inspired two more commissions, one from Grupo Alfa in Monterrey for a bronze screen in their corporate headquarters and another from the Protexa company for an outdoor piece on a monumental scale. Although the maquettes were designed, these projects were never executed because of Mexico's financial crisis in 1982, which caused many projects to be abandoned. He did complete one commission in 1982 for a silver sculpture to be used as an annual award from the Association of Engineers and Architects of Mexico. In 1987 Gerzso was asked to produce a suite of bronzes for Hine Editions, San Francisco. For inspiraton the artist drew on pre-Columbian art and many of the works which emerged bore such titles as Yaxchilán, Tollan and Stele. The success of these sculptures led to other projects, such as the large piece at the Tamayo Museum published by GVG editions, Monterrey, and Semblantes, a double-sided relief of 1994, which will be exhibited for the first time at Mary-Anne Martin/ Fine Art. The artist is currently completing a suite of eight large bronze sculptures in Mexico which will be published by Ediciones Masri as well as four more large scale works with Galería Lopez Quiroga.
