RICHARD CURRIER
“I have always lived near the ocean and have always been drawn to it as a sailor,” says Currier, whose artistic process is a quest of discovery. “It is the perfect subject for my current mindset. Always in constant motion.” While painting, Currier flows like water through an ever-changing tributary. “I want to go to work every day not really sure how things will start or finish. Although the subjects may be similar, the method changes often and that leads to new results.” The ocean, says Currier, “allows me to be realistic and abstract at the same time. Nothing is more fundamental to life on earth.”
