About the Item

In paintings, drawings and prints, Michael Rich explores the beauty and irascibility of the natural world through an approach to painting that is visceral, physical and colorful. Often working in large scale, his painting is influenced by the American abstractionists of the 20th century with overt references to the sea and sky, weather and light. An accomplished printmaker, Rich also works with the graphic processes of intaglio and woodcut. Recent featured museum exhibitions include The Bristol and Newport Art Museums, Rhode Island and the Walton Arts Center, Fayetteville Arkansas. Rich is the recipient of the Basil H. Alkazzi Award (USA) and was included in Sotheby’s auction series, International Young Art. His work is featured in private and public collections nationally including, The Bronx Museum of the Arts, NY; Museum of Southern Art, New Orleans, LA; The Smithsonian Institute, Washington DC and the Springfield Museum of Art, Springfield, OH. Michael Rich lives and works in Rhode Island, USA and is a Professor of Visual Arts at Roger Williams University.

  • Craig (Richard's Friend - Sitting - Blue Jacket), Mixed media on grey parchment
    By Howard Tangye
    Located in London, GB
    Howard Tangye (b.1948, Australia) has been an influential force in fashion for decades. Lecturing at London’s Central Saint Martins for 35 years, including 16 years as head of BA Womenswear. There, he tutored many contemporary greats, including John Galliano, Stella McCartney, Christopher Kane, Wes Gordon, Zac Posen and Hussein Chalayan. Examples of Tangye’s portraits are held in many important collections, both public and private, including the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A), Harvard University and London’s National Portrait Gallery. Throughout his teaching career Tangye quietly developed a particularly idiosyncratic art practice. By employing a decisive line with bold applications of richly layered materials, Tangye explores the nuances of the human form in an effort to expose his subjects’ true essence and energy. — Howard Tangye Craig (Richard's Friend - Sitting - Blue Jacket), 2012 Mixed media on grey...
