About the Item

Beat, 2012 oil on linen, 24-1/4 x 21-1/2 inches In each saturated color image, Jim Richard seamlessly collages photographs of fine art objects into pictures of living rooms decked in 1960s and 70s décor. Geometric op art is nestled next to stuffed animals; surface patterns, textures, and styles mix and match and clash. Richard equalizes these juxtapositions with uniform paint handling. His approach resembles paint-by-numbers. Clean, high-contrast blocks of color demarcate the contours of each form while also abstracting details. Often images include gallery and studio interiors studded with kitsch objects, further confusing distinctions of good and bad taste, and amateur and professional aesthetics. Richard pleasurably questions the manner by which fine art is displayed and distinguished within the universe of decorative objects. Jim Richard (b. 1943, Port Arthur, TX) lives and works in New Orleans, LA. He received a BFA from Lamar State College of Technology in Beaumont, TX (1965) and an MFA from the University of Boulder, CO (1968). He has exhibited his work internationally for the last 25 years, including most recently solo exhibitions at the New Orleans Museum of Art, New Orleans, LA (2012); Jeff Bailey Gallery (2011); and Inman Gallery (2010 and 2004). Richard received a Pollack-Krasner Foundation Award in Painting (2006) and a Joan Mitchell Foundation Award in Painting (2004). His work is in the collections of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, NY; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, TX; and the New Orleans Museum of Art, New Orleans, LA, among others.

For Real
By John Randall Nelson
Located in Los Angeles, CA
John Randall Nelson is an Arizona-based painter and sculptor. Nelson’s works are layered with his own personal language consisting of patterns, symbols, and archetypes that may not make any literal sense but play on subconscious associations. His paintings are thick with poured pigment, saturated washes and worked with layers of drawing and collage. While Nelson's work is akin to outsider, folk art, it should be noted that he received his MFA from Arizona State University in 1995 and has completed commissions for projects as diverse as the National Endowment for the Arts, the United States Postal Service...
