Richard Quigley
In the world of art, my paintings and drawings have been described as having a contemporary, surreal narrative and visionary attitude, which I have cultivated over the last forty years. Recently, with the addition of spirit poles, I have extended my experiences and visions into the realm of sculpture. My art continues to evoke the relationship between elements surrounding mankind’s spiritual and physical being in a symbiotic coexistence between the past, present and future. These works of art intend to transcend our everyday existence, reflecting a constantly altered universe. Through use of vibrant color, intuitive design and iconic references, my visionary images combine to create art which is wholly new and refreshing.
All is phantasmagoric!

Whitney North - June
I like to work on a large scale because I feel that it gives me more space for expression. Think of my general aversion to smaller canvases as creative claustrophobia. I use acrylic paint because I don’t enjoy waiting for oil paints to dry and because I dislike the lucidity of water colors.
I prefer not to blend my colors, instead using areas of flat color to add to the simplicity of the images I create. To my way of thinking, if you can tell it’s supposed to be a tree then it’s a tree.
