Artist Statement for Paul Richmond

My work is an exploration of sexuality and identity through narrative painting. I draw inspiration from my own experiences as a young gay man from a conservative environment to break down the social constructs that exist around sexual orientation and gender roles. Through colorful, illustrative, and sometimes humorous paintings, I expose the grey areas that become overshadowed by black and white moral codes. By employing the visual communication techniques of graphic design and illustration, my work is bold yet inviting with apparent, underlying themes. It invites viewers of all origins to make personal connections with the imagery that I’ve employed to tell my story and encourages them to question conventional ideas that disregard the value of their individuality.
