David Richardson
David Richardson’s paintings reinforce myth as the universal blueprint we “Although compositional and color symmetry may be initially pleasing for its novelty, symmetrical colors and compositions quickly come to bore the brain – there is nothing for it to resolve, nothing for it to do. Our brains were made to process complex fields of light, shape, and color. If something is too asymmetrical or too awkward, it is simply displeasing – some would say even distressing, because our minds cannot make sense of them. But somewhere in between the over simplicity of symmetry and the distress of chaos is a happy place of “just-awkward-enough,” which stimulates and attracts our brains. These flowers – composition and color – strive to get at the conceptual asymmetry of the world.”
