Once called a "masterpiece", the 5000-pound, 78-inch diameter, chiseled glass sculpture titled TIKKUN (Healing The World) will be featured at the Art Miami Basel 2010 during the Miami Art Fair Basel. The inspiration for this piece comes from the Hebrew phrase "Tikkun Olam" which means: repairing the world. It is an impressive glass sphere that towers over its audience. Its color reminds viewers of blue green Caribbean waters and they can view it for themselves at the Miami Art Fair Basel during the Miami Art Basel dates. Richardson uses the sphere as a symbol for the universe and the laws of nature and endlessness. Many of his viewers find metaphors for life in his works of art. The opportunity to see this impressive glass sculpture should not be missed. The AJ Japour Gallery is excited to announce this special event as well as their auction in Key Biscayne on December fourth. These upcoming events create buzz throughout the Miami community.

The artist, Richardson, expresses that his work carries a constant theme of regeneration. It is similar to an individual who experiences trauma or emotional stress. The pieces are broken and rebuilt such as life through the constant rebuilding of ourselves, making us whole again. One can only imagine his sculptures start as cold commercial grade window glass and they are transformed into breath taking sculptures that transmit light and radiance. The process can almost be compared to the metamorphosis of the butterfly. This extravagant piece of work, along with many others, can be seen at the Art Miami Basel 2010.
