Even though I didn’t see him or even talk to him every day, his absence leaves an overwhelming emptiness that I am still struggling to accept. As I worked on this piece, I kept thinking about the concept of positive and negative space. It’s one of the first things you learn in art school. Positive space is the stuff — the subject matter. Negative space is what’s around it — the background, the empty part. Most art students start out only wanting to focus on the positive space, but the shapes you create with the negative are just as important compositionally. Losing someone who is such a fundamental part of who I am has left an unfillable void. My dad is no longer the positive space, the tangible presence in the foreground of my life. But I believe that I can still find him in the gaps and crevices he carved out along the way — the backgrounds, the negative spaces — everything from the small openings to the vastness of the entire world that he laid out and molded into tangible bits for me as I grew up. Those spaces hold his shape and always will. The negative space has become the positive. I guess that’s what this painting came to be about.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e©2017 Paul Richmond\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paul Richmond Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":6678385917995,"sku":"","price":3000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2563\/4614\/products\/A_Space_of_Your_Own_1296x_22d870ac-6ce2-4681-9044-92077a049a55.jpg?v=1527378052"},{"product_id":"looking-for-the-answers-painting","title":"Looking for the Answers painting","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/paulrichmondstudio.com\/collections\/fineartprints\/products\/looking-for-the-answers-print\" title=\"Looking for the Answers prints\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2563\/4614\/files\/Sold-prints_1024x1024.jpg?v=1571242186\" alt=\"\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2563\/4614\/files\/Sold-prints_1024x1024.jpg?v=1571242186\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMedium: oil on canvas\u003cbr\u003eSurface: Canvas, unframed with painted edges\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 36 inches\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 48 inches\u003cbr\u003eDepth: 1 inch\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY\u003cbr\u003eEach piece you purchase will come with a certificate of authenticity, a signed document proving the authenticity of the work and containing details about the artwork for your reference.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e©2016 Paul Richmond \u003cbr\u003eModel: Dennis Niekro\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWAR PAINT Series \u003cbr\u003e“They understand only too well the liberation into savagery that the concealing paint brought.” –Lord of the Flies, William Golding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody painting has significance in many cultures and serves a variety of purposes from spiritual cleansing to battle preparation.

PAINT Series \u003cbr\u003e“They understand only too well the liberation into savagery that the concealing paint brought.” –Lord of the Flies, William Golding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody painting has significance in many cultures and serves a variety of purposes from spiritual cleansing to battle preparation. My War Paint series draws upon this rich symbolism to investigate the construction of identity. In these paintings, the modern human form becomes the canvas, a painted object of his\/her own creation. Reality and abstraction compete within the figurative foundation of each piece to make the subjects’ inner struggles more tangible. The application of pigment is suggestive of their psychological states, the color of their self-made armor exposing more than it conceals. By deconstructing and rebuilding the figure, my goal is to invite understandings that reach beyond the immediate surface and reveal the complexity of the individual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paul Richmond Store","offers":[{"title":"Default
