Artist Statement:
Although there are many faces
to my work, it is unified by a
fundamental concern with the
communication, expression and
arrangement of emotional
experience and marked by an
ongoing struggle for their
mastery. My painting is
vibrantly gestural, abstract
and challenging. Beyond
occupying space on a wall,
some sort of meaningful
dialogue or interaction with
the viewer is sought.
Canvas and paper provide the
support, and paints, ink and
other
materials the medium. Life
experiences -others and mine-
help initially to move the
brush. I then set about
trying to bring order and
meaning to the composition.
In this way, each work
represents a process of
maturation and self-mastery.
Many works result from
considerable reworking and
layering of earlier
paintings, and thus provide
not only great depth and
substance, but also a palpable
sense of heredity.

Artist Reviews:
February 2005. Personal
Communication.
Immediately evocative, this
collection of works, although
diverse in
their styles and textures,
show a deep understanding of
colour. Dr.
Ritcheson's natural ability
comes through in all of his
paintings, and although one
can associate his style with
his influences, an...
originality is present.
