I Was Just Leaving: The Artwork of Richard Colman

1976, USA. Lives and works in California.
Painter. During his youth Colman lived the hardcore music scene of Washington DC and started painting walls. Then, he chose watercolor, ink and pencil. Through these primary media, he stained the vulnerability of the ephemeral on paper with one eye on hieroglyphics and the other on Byzantine painting. The topics he treats are events of his life adorned with violent and bloody grounds. After some exhibitions in the Merry Karnosky Gallery Los Angeles, he started to make solo shows and gained notoriety.

Richard Colman.
1976, EEUU. Vive y trabaja en California.
Pintor. Durante su juventud se empapa de la escena de música hardcore de Washington D.C. y comienza a pintar muros. Más tarde, elige la acuarela, la tinta y el lápiz. A través de estos primarios medios, tiñe las obras sobre papel de la vulnerabilidad de lo efímero, con un ojo en los jeroglíficos y otro en la pintura bizantina. Los temas que trata son acontecimientos de su vida adornados con motivos violentos y sangrientos. Tras algunas exposiciones colectivas en la galería Merry Karnosky de Los Angeles, comienza a realizar individuales ganando notoriedad.
