About
P e t e r  A l a n  R i c h a r d
" we all start in childhood as an artist; too many artists and 'the child' end in adulthood ". *inspired by Pablo Picasso. ARTIST STATEMENT Principles of painting, drawing, collage, printmaking and sculpture all come together into one application. Because of Richard's mixed media presentation, it's difficult to box-in defining what "is" painting -- a painting -- or a drawing for his prolific work. Whether on paper or plywood panel, a wide-range of content goes through a vigorous and rigorous process....

"alicia"
2008 series in process portraying LA model/actress, Alicia Sixtos. Her abrupt youthful beauty and poise meshes with raw LA graffiti and grit -- allso as a homage to the Hispanic community and appropriating painting elements of artists, Frida Kahlo and J M Basquiat.
