Richard J. Watson
On a Clear Day: framed abstract painting by Black African American artist

2022

About the Item

"On a Clear Day" is an acrylic painting of an abstracted, dream-like landscape on leather mounted on MDF panel. The work itself is 24" x 22", framed to 24.5" x 22.5" in a narrow, simple black metal frame. . It is signed and dated along the lower edge. This is one of a series of five works -created over the past 10 years - see image gallery for additional works in the series. Each is listed separately on 1stDibs, but I will combine shipping for multiple purchases. "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.
