 Tate St Ives | Past Exhibitions | Richard Deacon
Richard Deacon (born 1949) is widely regarded as one of the principal British sculptors, best known for his innovative use of open form and his interest in materials and their manipulation.
Deacon's dissatisfaction with the materials commonly associated with outdoor works drove him to explore the use of clay on a large-scale, overcoming technical difficulties to produce a body of work such as Another Kind Of Blue 2005 or Flower 2004 that illustrates his fascination with the relationship between the physical and the material.
Deacon's preoccupation with methods of construction and materials expresses the continuous development of his ideas on sculpture, the interaction of surface, skin and structure, mass and volume, space and its relations.

Deacon works in a variety of materials--his recent show included dimpled, cumulus-shaped reliefs in stainless steel and a tabletop display of found objects--but he is best known for his use of the bentwood technique developed in the nineteenth century by the furniture designer Michael Thonet, in which timber is steamed to become fleetingly malleable.
Deacon's '80s bentwood compositions were relatively static, but his work can by now be quite baroque.
The bends in the oak planks and posts are sufficiently extravagant and complex that you're sure they want to set themselves straight, and the steel plates bolted vigilantly to the wood's joints suggest that they would if they could.

The basic story Richard Deacon is investigating here is an old legend, that America may have been reached in the year 1170 A.D. (the year Henry II apparently had Thomas a Becket slain in Canterbury Cathedral), by a Welsh prince named Madoc.
This is one of those tales that is just so exciting that people seem to latch onto it, and draw upon it for their need for Mystery in life.
Deacon does not do this, and his book is basically quite informative.

To these elements, Deacon introduces lengths of 4-by-4-inch oak beams that have been twisted like a carpenter's bit, straight segments joined to those that curve by square steel cuffs.
Deacon's title is as playful as it seems descriptive: the sculpture's two elements have a passage between them; the roiling waves of wood on either side suggest the Red Sea's parting.
From 6 to 8 feet high, up to 9 feet across, these plaques are made up of amoeboid shapes welded together, their pitted surfaces penetrated by 3-inch circular apertures.
