INTRODUCTION
Richard X. Zawitz creates sculptural forms that are both elemental and infinite — explorations of flow, energy, and the metaphysical potential of form. His work traverses art, design, and spiritual inquiry, inviting tactile interaction and expanded awareness. Whether monumental or handheld, Zawitz’s curves are carriers of something greater: a visual language of continuity and transformation.

BIOGRAPHY
Over the course of his forty-year career, Richard X. Zawitz has become a significant force in visual art, design, and advanced fabrication. Driven by a belief in the power of material creativity to expand perception, his sculptural work opens new ways of seeing — new systems of experience, new cosmos rooted in boundless creativity.
Born in Pittsburgh — birthplace of Andy Warhol and hub of the American steel industry, both lasting influences — Zawitz now divides his time between San Francisco and Hong Kong. After earning a Fine Arts degree in sculpture with minors in Asian Art History and Philosophy from the University of Hawaii, he traveled extensively across Asia. These early explorations, through Japan, China, Thailand, India, Nepal, and Tibet, deeply shaped his worldview. Eastern philosophies and aesthetics became core to his belief in a spiritual connection between form and meaning.
Central to his practice are the Infinity and Tangle series — sculptural systems composed of pivoting 90-degree angles, capable of infinite variation. Through Curvism, a sculptural language of continuous curves, Zawitz invites direct engagement with the idea of infinity. Rooted in motifs such as the Tibetan Knot, Shodō calligraphy, vortex energy, and waveforms, Curvism speaks to something both ancient and innate — a movement that mirrors DNA, ocean tides, and the spiraling galaxies.
His recent Infinity works continue this exploration, merging mythology with futurism and science with symbolism. These forms have resonated with physicists and mathematicians exploring quantum entanglement, string theory, and knot theory — where his shapes are known as “Tangle Particles.” With over 150 million Tangles distributed globally, Zawitz’s vision bridges the personal and the monumental. His ongoing work continues to scale the infinite — into public sculpture and beyond.
