Meet Richard at his Opening Reception on First Friday Art Walk evening February 7.
Richard says, ‘The foundational century, roughly 1870-1970, saw the emergence of new forms of narcissistic/pragmatic leadership, passive/reactive peasantry and psychological/aesthetic revolution. Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, Surrealist and Expressionist works of this period served as my early guides to a more direct experience of outer and inner worlds: Carl Jung’s organization of the individual in resistance to the collective neurosis of our time. My present focus is that region of the psyche in which meaning and emotion originate; specifically, on the border between abstract form and symbol.’
