Statement |
On a clear blue day on September 11th 2001, Flight 93 turned around in the Cleveland skyline and
headed towards its intended destination. The contrails that appeared in the cloudless blue sky above Bill
Radawec’s home near Ridge Road in Parma are some of the influences in his most recent work. Bill
Radawec has been inspired to create often commonplace subjects with tragic undertones. Some of those
events are cross generational, such as the Lincoln Assassination and September 11th. Others are often
personal, such as the suicide of Fred Sandback on the artists birthday, who Bill Radawec sites as one of
his major influences. Bill Radawec is a multifaceted individual who is an artist, writer, collector and
facilitator who has lived and worked in the Cleveland area and in Los Angeles. His work has been
reviewed in Art in America and is in over 250 private collections.
