What People Say About George Radeschi
“I am delighted to have chosen George Radeschi as one of Pennsylvania’s best artists. When jurying work, I
look for design, color, value, and any new and exciting techniques or use of materials. It’s about having the
viewer emotionally drawn to a certain piece of work.”
“George Radeschi is one of the most creative and imaginative artists in wood that I have ever found. The
architectural structure, color arrangements, and the way George puts the piece together indicate his great
talent for creating fine art. I have been fortunate in being able to own quite a number of his wood turnings. They
are some of the nicest art work I own.”
"George Radeschi's wooden vases seem to be realizations of Keats' "Ode on a Grecian Urn." Their lines are
classic. Yet the complexity of this work is staggering. This Pennsylvania artist glues together hundreds of small
blocks of exotic woods before the final shape is turned on a lathe."
"...marvels of mathematical precision, meticulous craftsmanship and elegant style."
“George Radeschi’s vessels’ harmonious effect has parallels in the ceramic vases of ancient Greece,”
“...outstanding, gorgeous...”
“Each vessel is a classic form in which hundred of pieces of native and exotic woods are fitted together in
striking combinations.”
"Like all of Radeschi's wood turnings, this vessel is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece."
"...Among the more striking items are hand-turned wood urns in geometric patterns by George Radeschi. You
want to turn them round and round while examining every sliver...Polished insides mimic exterior designs."
"The hand-turned wooden urns of George Radeschi are unbelievable in their construction as well as in their
beauty.”
"This being the NRAA (New Rochelle, New York Art Association's) 75th anniversary, the association decided to
award a Grand Prize. For the first time in 75 years, the highest award was presented to a work of art other than
an oil painting. The judges - artist Serge Hollerbach, crafts consultant Rosanne Raab, and Greg Wyatt,
sculptor-in-residence at Manhattan's Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine - chose as the Grand Prize
winner "Rosebud" by George Radeschi. It's easy to understand why... like Citizen Kane's beloved sled, this is a
Rosebud you won't forget."
"George Radeschi's vases are a tour de force of the woodworker's art ..."
