One of our main exhibitors to the Eyestorm Summer Show 2007 is Richard Trupp. He presented 2 outdoor sculptures in the Eyestorm sculpture garden, entitled ‘Fixing Blocks’. During the Opening Evening, many flocked outside to see the sculptures and sit around them, engaging in friendly banter and a drink or two.


In the main room of the gallery, ‘Anticipating Mars’ is displayed for the first time and has generated a lot of interest from our guests. Richard Trupp comments on the nights success: ‘The new sculpture is ambitious but I was delighted with the final installation and response, in particular the ‘Anticipating Mars’ piece stirred up lots of conversation and enthusiasm.’


‘Anticipating Mars’ was inspired by Trupp’s interest in Roman Mythology. Inside the large steel casing exists a range of smaller pieces made from vulcanized bronze and rubber. Each piece reflects Trupp’s research into Roman mythology and the god of vulcanicity, Vulcanus.


‘Anticipating Mars’ and ‘Fixing Blocks’ will be on display at the Eyestorm gallery until mid August, where you can pick up more information about them.
