Recent School of the Art Institute of Chicago graduate Richard Medina will show how he transfers inkjet images to initiate thoughtful layered paintings. This will be a 7-9:00 pm Zoom meeting.
Richard Medina is an artist, curator, and filmmaker based in Chicago. He has exhibited his paintings at Heaven Gallery, Union Street Gallery, Robert T. Wright Gallery, and the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, among others. Richard also curates Box Gallery, an experimental display space. He graduated in May with what they call a BFA with Distinction.
Mostly, Richard is a painter, drawing from the lessons of history, biology and literature to produce themes and narratives. He works on small to medium canvases and panels, and he primarily works with acrylics applied in layers over photographic images. His recent show at CLC’s Wright gallery caught the attention our Jeff Harold, who ultimately filmed a Zoom interview with him. Their discussion can be seen on our YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIgq919-plw where Richard shares his thoughts about nuclear disaster, manifest destiny and Paul Bunyan – whom he compares to the mystic Greek giant Enceladus referenced in Herman Melville’s book “Pierre.” Using Paul he has played with the double-edged idea of our natural western beauty, grand and inspiring but ultimately spoiled by logging and agricultural expansion. Jeff invited Richard to demonstrate image transfer and layering this month.
