Artist Reviews:
Paul Richmond of Columbus,
Ohio is indeed a master
painter. He brings to the show
a dynamic intensity that
certainly has the “wow”
factor. His rather large oil
painting “Not Just a Closet”
not only shows a transitional
state in a somewhat
surrealistic manner, the
coloration is magnificent.

Artist Statement for Paul Richmond
|
|
|
Paul Richmond is a 27 year old artist whose powerful paintings embody the “ins and outs” of a topic at the forefront of current affairs: sexual orientation. Drawing upon his own experiences as a young man who was raised in a conservative, Midwestern environment and struggled to come to terms with his homosexuality, he explores deeply personal feelings, insecurities, fears and triumphs in this exhibition of new works.
Utilizing a multitude of artistic methodologies, Richmond conveys a personal narrative that indicates issues and unique experiences of the GLBT community as well as self realization and empowerment at large. His sensitivity to visual communication methods allows for harmonious and inviting pieces with apparent underlying themes permitting viewers of all origins to make personal connections. Richmond’s paintings draw on the viewer to recognize the beauty of discovering and developing one’s potential; beckoning for a conversation to that end.
Paul Richmond graduated from Columbus College of Art and Design in 2002. His work as a commercial artist has included the illustration of eight children’s books, concert merchandise, a nationally syndicated comic strip, and a variety of large-scale murals. Richmond came out of the closet shortly after graduating from college, and his fine artwork, which has been exhibited in numerous group and solo exhibitions, was significantly impacted by that life-altering moment. He began using his paintings as a vehicle to explore and understand his own journey and to develop a dialogue with other members of the GLBT community. His hope is that through viewing his body of work, others will be able to locate or understand their own steps in that process of coming out and accept themselves as legitimate members of society.
