Inspired by the winter-blooming camellia, which flowers during colder and dormant months, the piece reflects themes of endurance, renewal, and propagation. Rather than depicting the flower directly, Reihel abstracts its life cycle into a refined circular form that references both botanical growth and celestial movement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe sculpture begins with a base mold that establishes its essential geometry. Reihel then hand-sculpts the piece, introducing subtle variations that give the work an organic presence. This balance between repetition and individuality mirrors the natural process of propagation, where growth occurs through duplication yet never results in exact sameness. Cast in optical urethane, the surface holds a soft, diffused luminosity that absorbs ambient light throughout the day. In darkness, the artwork glows, extending the sculpture’s presence beyond daylight and reinforcing its connection to cyclical time and transformation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSun Moon aligns with traditions of Minimalism and the Light and Space movement, recalling the perceptual sensitivity of artists such as James Turrell, while also resonating with the quiet restraint of Agnes Martin and the symbolic clarity of mandala forms in Eastern art. The relationship between the outer disc and inner core suggests balance between opposing yet interdependent forces such as rest and growth, concealment and emergence, winter and bloom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePresented as part of Mash Gallery’s group exhibition Rhythmic Contours, Sun Moon expands the exhibition’s investigation of rhythm into the realm of natural cycles and material process. Here, rhythm unfolds through seasonal repetition, propagation, and return.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSun Moon offers collectors, interior designers, and architects a sculptural work that merges material innovation with conceptual depth. Its glow-in-the-dark quality, refined craftsmanship, and botanical origins position it as both a meditative object and a quietly resonant presence within modern interiors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"Sun Moon (Camellia Flower Series)\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CXV8cIROaUc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Ron Reihel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53645512409452,"sku":null,"price":12000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/9023\/6012\/files\/ron-reihel-sun-moon-camellia-flower-series-1-scaled_jpg.webp?v=1776881755"},{"product_id":"versicolor-twilight-series-1","title":"Versicolor Twilight Series 1","description":"Versicolor Twilight Series 1 by Ron Reihel presents a distilled exploration of color, light, and spatial perception through a precisely constructed sculptural surface. Composed of layered industrial materials combined with integrated illumination, the work exists at the intersection of sculpture, painting, and light-based installation. Gradated fields of violet, lavender, and soft cream appear to hover within the structure, creating a visual rhythm that shifts subtly as the viewer moves through space.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe work can be categorized within contemporary light and color abstraction, with strong ties to the Light and Space movement, Minimalism, and Post-Minimalist sculpture. Reihel’s investigation of perception aligns with artists such as James Turrell and Robert Irwin, who treated light as a material rather than a representational tool. The smooth chromatic transitions also recall Color Field painting, while the work’s physical depth and architectural precision distinguish it as a sculptural object rather than a purely optical illusion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReihel’s medium is central to the experience. By layering translucent and opaque industrial materials and incorporating controlled lighting elements, he creates a surface that emits color from within rather than reflecting it. Horizontal bands introduce a measured cadence across the composition, allowing light, color, and form to function as rhythmic elements. The absence of gesture heightens sensitivity to subtle shifts in tone, glow, and spatial tension.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePresented as part of Rhythmic Contours, a group exhibition at Mash Gallery, Versicolor Twilight Series 1 extends the exhibition’s exploration of movement into the optical realm. The work offers a contemplative experience grounded in restraint and precision, inviting sustained engagement with how light and color structure perception and space.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"Versicolor Twilight Series 1\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GK9ngABEte8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Ron Reihel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53645512573292,"sku":null,"price":14000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/9023\/6012\/files\/ron-reihel-versicolor-twilight-series-1-2-1-scaled_jpg.webp?v=1776881756"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/9023\/6012\/collections\/ron-reihel-sun-moon-camellia-flower-series-1-scaled_jpg.webp?v=1776931853","url":"https:\/\/www.mashgallery.com\/collections\/ron-reihel.oembed","provider":"MASH Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
