About the Item

Mountain Meadows is a serigraph on paper with an image size 35 x 29 inches, signed 'Ricker' lower right and annotated lower left. From the edition of 500, numbered 155/200 (there were also 50 Roman on paper, 200 Arabic on canvas and 50 AP on canvas). Framed in a contemporary silver-tone moulding. An alum of the Berkeley School of Architecture in the sixties, Bruce Ricker identifies with the natural geometry of a landscape, incorporating the rational order of architecture with the mysticism of nature. In Mountain Meadows, the long shadows of morning stretch their cool fingers across the hillside, while the delicate mist settles in the valley, escaping for the moment the approaching warmth that threatens its very existence. Dense, emerald juniper and eucalyptus, blazing magenta and silver, take refuge in a protective grove of columnar golden Monterey cypress, their own limbs ravaged by the wicked winds. The gods of wind and water have tested this fragile landscape, but its trials have only served to strengthen the countenance of this sacred garden. There is a precarious balance to this reality, a Darwinian drama for the ages. This epic struggle for survival and harmony amongst the elements is the foundation for Ricker’s creations. Martin Lawrence Galleries is an affiliate of Chalk & Vermilion Fine Arts, the original publisher of this print. This print is as new, with no prior ownership.

Dragons (Sacred Places)
Located in Greenwich, CT
Dragons is a serigraph on paper with an image size 13 x 13 inches, signed 'Ricker' lower right and annotated lower left. Framed in a contemporary gold-tone frame. Numbered 29/200, from the edition of 500 (there were also 50 Roman on paper, 200 Arabic on canvas and 50 Roman on canvas). Framed in a contemporary silver-tone moulding. Ricker created four stunning images for a suite titled ‘Sacred Places’ – all powerful images of earthly splendor. The vistas he paints, almost desolate in a primeval way, are a chorus of voices that sing of the glory of nature. In a style which he calls ‘Epic Visionary,’ he presents a view that is at once new and fresh and yet as deep-rooted and enduring as the pristine landscapes themselves. In the images of ‘Sacred Places,’ Ricker’s harmonious layering and blending of colors, muted blues and greens, contrast with the jutting precipices and craggy outcrops of rock that punctuate each portrait. The effects of the elements are visible and beautiful, creating carved layers in the rock and earth, and weaving a ribbon of shimmering water as a central feature in each work. “…these places…are sacred places – they are sacred because their beauty is so deep and mysterious that we are stopped in our tracks…for the moment, we can’t imagine anything better on earth or in heaven.” – Bruce...
