Artist Statement for Richard Meric
|
|
|
RICMERIC has done very few exhibitions, although many of his paintings have been sold to private collectors. His artistic career has been supported by what we call in French “le succès d'estime.”
Now and then, Ricmeric's goal is to track the greatest mystery of the created world: the double nature of all things. His main concern is to send clear and pleasant messages for the soul, to bring positive feelings to his fellow humans. So, one should not be astonished to find the traces of this quest in the majority of his pictures, in which the Masculine and the Feminine figures are reconciled or clashed, the top and bottom, the inside and the outside merged, the heat and the cold harmonized despite the violence of the primary colors which he uses, in their pure state.
If one adds to that a very marked leaning toward wild nature and an unquestionable misanthropy, one will understand that his public life and his celebrity were reduced to their simpler expressions. But be sure that Ricmeric is communicating with us, maybe with our subconscious too.
Ric used to say that his paintings are like books, for they have to be “read.” He defines his style as “Narrative Hyper-Surrealism”; modern painting using a classical technique, inspired by Breughel, H. Bosch, M.C. Escher and Salvador Dalí.
Most of Ric’s paintings have been digitally treated and can be reproduced in any size and on any kind of platform.
