Michael Rich
Late Winter Variations I

2014

About the Item

Michael Rich’s early years were spent in the shadow of the Blue Ridge Mountains and surrounded by the waters of New England. Graduate studies and later travels to Italy heightened an awareness of the opposing elements of the Mediterranean landscape’s serenity and nature’s tenacity. In his paintings, drawings and prints Rich investigates the natural rhythms of nature’s harmony and irascibility through opacity and translucency of color. A dedicated practitioner of yoga, Rich is influenced greatly by Eastern philosophy and art in an approach to nature and landscape as a wellspring for spiritual investigation and meditation. Lately, however, my work has been picking up on the smaller moments in the landscape - not the broad sweeping vistas of the Italian countryside or the New England shore but my own backyard and garden. A period of deep introspection and personal transformation has led to looking more closely at the intimate forms of leaves, branches and lines in nature. Plants and flowers find their way into my vocabulary of paint that only recently avoided any reference to representation. This process of close observation and translation in mark and color started in drawing some years ago but has in recent times percolated through to my paintings. Drawn lines of remembered and invented forms find their way from direct drawing observations to the abstract world of paint on canvas.
