CURATORIAL STATEMENT

Curated by Debbie Dickinson
Debbie Dickinson

These surrealistic floral compositions transcend the tradition of still life, transforming the familiar into something quietly uncanny. Rooted in observation yet liberated through color, scale, and spatial tension, the works dissolve the boundary between reality and imagination. Vessels become more than containers — they act as anchors within shifting psychological interiors, where flowers emerge as agents of memory, emotion, and dreamlike distortion.

Across the series, there is a subtle push and pull between control and spontaneity, structure and fluidity. The compositions resist symmetry, inviting the eye into unexpected rhythms that echo nature’s unpredictability.

In this way, the paintings move beyond representation, offering instead a contemplative space where time feels suspended and the ordinary is re-envisioned as something deeply poetic and otherworldly.

DAVID RICHARDSON

David Richardson has done something at once unusual and highly effective with these paintings of vases and flowers.

First, he chose a traditional subject, and then he made each canvas distinctively different in its balance of figuration and abstraction.

The result is the channeling of nature and its presence as art.

ARTIST BIOGRAPHY

David Richardson

David Richardson, from Arlington, Virginia, was introduced to drawing and painting by his mother, a flower painter and landscapist, whose influence shaped his early understanding of nature, composition, and form. This foundation continues to inform his work, even as his practice evolves.

His most recent paintings reflect a decisive shift away from abstraction, grounded in a close study of Johannes Itten and his theories of color. At the same time, Richardson embraces what he calls “awkward” composition—intentionally disrupting traditional balance to create a more active visual experience.

Richardson’s work is rooted in the idea of myth as a universal blueprint through which we interpret the world. He challenges the limits of visual harmony, noting that while symmetry in color and composition may initially appeal, it quickly becomes static, offering the viewer little to engage with. Conversely, extreme imbalance can feel chaotic or even distressing, as the eye struggles to make sense of it.

His paintings seek a precise point between these extremes – a space he defines as “just-awkward-enough.” Here, composition and color create subtle tension, stimulating the viewer’s perception without overwhelming it. Through his floral imagery, Richardson explores what he describes as the “conceptual asymmetry of the world,” transforming familiar forms into works that invite curiosity, reflection, and sustained attention.
