Willy Bo Richardson
Colophon 12, Contemporary Abstract Painting

2017

About the Item

Willy Bo Richardson married himself to a single mode of working as a formal recognition of the power of remaining in one place and as a way to honor consistency and quietude. Viewing his work as philosophy in motion, Richardson believes that vertical strokes are the last bastion of creativity in painting; vibrant colors and bold brushstrokes are the powerful forces of gravity in his creativity. Painting in both watercolor and oil, Richardson’s lines are large and loose, or narrow and tight, while colors edge playfully over one another. While painting, it the tension of freedom and working within the limited structure, tethers him to the cycle, and the work—although, he is inevitably always working toward freedom.

Busy Blue (Abstract Checkered Pattern Gouache and Collage on Paper)
By Donise English
Located in Hudson, NY
Donise English Busy Blue, 2020 14" X 17" gouache and collage on paper This abstract geometric composition on paper features a playful geometric motif that is inspired by the artist's interest in architecture and blueprint drawings. The geometric forms are made in a more painterly, gestural manner rather than with a hard edge. Paint is not heavily built up upon the surface but it certainly exhibits a tactile quality which is characteristic of the artist's aesthetic. English's work celebrates the quirky, unexpected qualities of shapes and colors. About the artist: Donise English is a Poughkeepsie-based artist who received her MFA from Bard College and is currently a Professor of Studio Art at Marist College in Poughkeepsie, NY. Artist Statement: I am interested in drawing and collaging multiple layers of information that refer abstractly to maps, architectural drawings and blueprints or patterns and structures found in such things as roller coasters, power lines and fences. I use gouache and collaged paper in a series of layers that are a visual and ideological response to the previous layer to define my pictorial space. For each piece I create a set of rules to follow about the use of a limited palette, a grid format, opacity of paper and whether a piece may include curving lines or maintain a rectilinear structure.
