Over the past twenty-five years Antonio Reche developed a body of work having mythology and fables as the central theme to his figurative bronzes. While this might appear to be the central theme for his group of works, the
essence of them is the impact of his surrounding world. The effect of daily experiences, big or small, that for some reason trigger the process. He says ‘It is like the vibration after a musical string has been pressed and the vibration, even when the sound is not perceptible, carries on expanding.’‘
Some ideas evolve fast like a tsunami while some others just linger and brew slowly for a long time to then sprout. When less expected, the penny drops. ’Through the unplanned and unrestricted modelling Antonio creates forms that convey movement and strength, that invite the eye, to linger and travel over the form sand the textures, capturing the rawness of materials such as clay, wax or plaster into bronze as well as the expressive energy of tools marks and loose modelling.
