Piece description from the artist
This painting is about the concept of landscape as a study of horizontals and angles. Through a repetition of horizontal lines and more angular lines that contrast with the horizontal, a composition is created that appears to rise upward, and also recede in space. The shadows referenced in the title are created with softer, more subtle horizontal shapes that were painted over with a lighter tone of color. They appear to be echoes of the darker forms at the top of the composition.
Rosalyn Richards often uses printed material as a stimulus for an idea, and works in a collage manner by reconstructing found images from scientific sources. She investigates inner structures of forms from nature and images from biology, particle physics, satellite photography, biotechnology, and geological survey maps, have all served as influences. Her goal has been to transform this scientific, rational material into a personal, introspective poetic visual language.
Her work has won awards in numerous national and international exhibitions, and she has been a visiting artist and critic at several universities in the US and in China. Her work is represented in many museum and corporate art collections and her large drawing installation, Footprints, was recently added to the permanent collection of the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia. She has a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design, and an MFA from Yale University School of Art.
