About the Item

An original acrylic on canvas by American artist Richard Huntington entitled "Model Shoots Artist". This new work is part of the current gallery exhibition, A Sense of Place which runs through the end of June. This special exhibition is a celebration of the work of 4 extraordinary artists who used to call Western New York home. Travel lust, adventure, and livelihood have taken each of these artists to distant places, including China, Mexico, Massachusetts, and New York City, but they will always be a treasured part of Buffalo's dynamic arts community. Acknowledging that a sense of place can be an element in any work of art, shaping or transforming it depending on intentions and explorations, Resource:Art is thrilled to present this selection of new work by each of these unique artists. Richard Huntington is a writer, printmaker, and painter who lives in Buffalo, N.Y. and San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, Mexico. Born in Albany, N.Y., Huntington received a BFA from Syracuse University in 1959 and an MFA in 1963 from the University at Buffalo, where he studied under Seymour Drumlevitch. He taught studio and art history courses at Bradley University in Peoria, Ill.; lived and worked in New York City, where he showed at the Fulton Street Gallery and other venues; was an art critic for the Buffalo Courier Express, and beginning in 1982 served as visual arts director at Artpark. In 1985 he became art (and later theater) critic for the Buffalo News, a position he held until 2007; his reviews, interviews, columns, and essays form a veritable history of the arts (including media and performance in addition to visual art and theater) in Western New York and beyond during the 1980s, 90s, and 2000s. Throughout out his career he has also written a number of catalog essays for artists including Drumlevitch and Tyrone Georgiou and has contributed reviews and articles to such publications as ArtNews, Art New England, and High Performance. [1] After retiring from the newspaper, Huntington devoted more of his time to his own painting, which is rich with tongue-in-cheek references to art history, pop culture, and other iconic visual imagery. His work has been shown in Sweden, Mexico, and several galleries throughout New York state. In 2010, he was featured in the multi-site Beyond/In Western New York "Alternating Currents" exhibition, and his paintings are in the collection of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery.
