for Valentine's Day I am happy to debut a new suite of Archival Giclée Prints from my "Couples" Series. I worked closely with the printer to create this edition of 8 images that capture the spirit of the original works. The edition debuts tonight at the launch party for the 9th Annual 2011 Wild and Scenic Environmental Film Festival at the Mowen Solinsky Gallery

This work continues Richard's personal exploration of the mythical human figure engaged. Using the figure as a metaphor of our passion to connect to others, our communities, our world, and ourselves.
 
Sacramento Bee Art Critic Victoria Dalkey said this about Richard's monotypes in a review. "His elegant yet emotive monotypes focus on abstracted male and female figures engaged in archetypal relationships. These rich and sophisticated graphics quietly steal the show."
