Reminiscent of a Jeff Koon’s piece, John Szabo’s Dew Drop is an organic series that clearly shows Szabo’s interactions with nature as an influence. While his work is a manifestation of his personal experiences, Szabo believes that any interpretation a viewer receives from looking at his work is more based on their personal experiences than his own. Dew Drop consists of three reflective, brightly-colored monochromatic contemporary pieces that leave the viewer to interpret what exactly it represents. The series is peaceful yet bold and the reflective surface and round shape provides the viewer with an overwhelming desire to reach out and touch it. While Szabo’s sculptures are made multiple times in different colors and size, the original sculpture is made from clay and then turned into a mold for the monochromatic reproductions.
