Richard J. WatsonOn a Clear Day: framed abstract painting by Black African American artist2022
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
