Infinity and Tao Ifc Mall

Zawitz is always full of energy. During the interview, Zawitz at the age of 6o full of grey hair, was always smiled and followed the request of photographer to give all kinds of poses patiently and often played his shining Tangle on hand. By exploring his workshop, you would feel that the owner of this workshop is a Chinese philosopher who is passionate on sculptures, not the American you’ve seen in person. The sculptures and furniture in the Infinity pattern and many wooden and stone carved Buddha statues are all over the workshop.

It turned out that Zawitz had a strong interest in Chinese culture since he was little. While studied in the university, other than his fine art major, he also took the Asian Philosophy courses. He joked that he might be a Chinese in a previous life and said.

From Here To Infinity

A eureka moment made an artist embrace life’s twists and turns.

American sculptor Richard Zawitz, who is also known as the Tanglemaster, has a mission. A grand one, if you will. Ad that is “to change the course of history by teaching and propagation creativity.” he says. Taoism opened up the path for Zawitz to get into Asian culture, philosophy and art. He thinks Tao and infinity are related, just like brothers.

He’s a gem trader turned toy entrepreneur and now sculptor, and from next week he’ll be a purveyor of positive vibes to Hong Kong shoppers. That’s the resume of artist Richard Zawitz, who will open an exhibition called Infinity and Tao in the IFC Mall in Central. Zawitz believes the show, which features his signature large-scale stainless steel sculptures, will produce positive energy for the shoppers perusing luxury shops. “Things with curves and waves give positive energy,” he said at his loft-style studio and gallery in Aberdeen. “The curve is everywhere in space, science and nature. It’s the most ubiquitous energy form.” His art is heavily influenced by the philosophy of Taoism, which he first learned about in 1967 and has since embraced.

We are social beings, we can’t stand alone.” Zawitz said, He describes his works as” sculpturetainment” and confidently states his goal: “I will never be satisfied until every man, women and child on this planet feels and experiences the joy of the creative process.

Some of his latest works, which have not been shown in public before –such as Infinite Man, Infinite Woman, Infinite Group, Infinite Touch, Infinite Manifold and Alien Buddha – will grace the show. Zawitz sees a lot of violence, aggression and war in the world today. The so-called peacekeeping process has not been successful, he says

For his show at IFC Mall, he has also created a two metre scale model of the Hong Kong skyline. It has one addition: a “statue of Infinity” on the harbourfront, which Zawitz hopes will one day become a reality with a 40 metre version. Each sculpture has a story, Zawitz says. Part of the show at IFC will feature several three metre sculptures, including the artist’s Infiity Man and Infinity Women, which overlook a central object.

“Hopefully, for a moment, people will forget about spending money and experience art” Richard Zawitz
