About the Item

Please contact me with zip code for best shipping rates and timely delivery. This is a large, vertical acrylic painting of an imaginary, dream-like landscape with naturalistic flowers and abstract ocean references. Blues predominate. It is signed along lower edge, and framed in a wooden floater frame with antique gold tone finish. Measures approximately 63" x 18". It is half of a 2-part diptych and would hang beautifully as a pair. Each panel sold separately, but I will combine shipping for both pieces. Excellent delivery rates within the Greater Philadelphia area. PROVENANCE: Exhibited in "Portals + Revelations: Richard J. Watson," the African American Museum in Philadelphia, Oct 2021 - Mar 2022. "Most of my works are supported by memories of the past and suggested realities. Issues of social politics, ancestral references, and astral projections are presented with fragmented elements of 'real life' collaged and collapsed, as dreams are prone to do. If connections are made, all the better. I feel that life should remind us of our dreams." - Richard J. Watson Richard J. Watson is an icon in the Philadelphia art world. Much of his work relates to his experiences as a Black African American man. He is a graduate of Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (1968), has taught at his alma mater, and has served in the Exhibitions Department at the African American Museum in Philadelphia since the 1980s. He has been exhibiting his work for decades, and has an extensive bibliography. His work is held in the Petrucci Family Foundation Collection of African American Art; the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts; the Uniworld Corporation; Sony; the Federal Reserve Bank; the City of Philadelphia; Sprint; the Church of the Advocate; the poet Dr. Sonia Sanchez; and the Woodmere Museum of Art, among many others.
