Seraphin Gallery proudly announces the opening of Streamed Space, a solo exhibition featuring Bill Richards. The exhibition will run from September 12th through October 19th with an opening reception on Friday, September 12th, from 6 – 8 PM.

Streamed Space will feature Bill Richards' poured paintings, which are described by Donald Kuspit as ". . . dramatic, and majestic". The title of this exhibition perfectly describes Richards' paintings as "multi-directional, anti-gravitational drips and streams of pure color." Each artwork included in this exhibition is bold, vibrant and seemingly chaotic. These images are more than just paintings, they are conversations.

Richards' abstractions are emotionally charged, energizing even the viewer's space. The bold,  luminous colors interact with the stark, white background, creating spatial illusions as they  appear to dart across the canvas to form an electric image. The pure white background is just as much a part of the painted event as the intense colors in the foreground. Together they create an exchange, antagonizing one another as they fight to share the evolving space.

When speaking of his own work, Richards states, "Framing and interlacing space with streams and flowing masses of pure color, giving the impression of simultaneous occurrence, has been an undertaking evolving over several years. The poured painting process I invented to accomplish this also results in misdirected colors and in maintaining the color autonomy of convergent paint."

Bill Richards received a BFA from  Ohio University, a MFA from Indiana University, and was awarded a scholarship to the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. A former professor of Moore College of Art and Design,  he is in numerous public and corporate collections, including  both The Guggenheim and The Philadelphia Museum of Art. Richards has shown his work in exhibitions at The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Bass Museum of Art, The Brooklyn Museum of Art, the first Soviet exhibition of American Art, among others, and was a part of the Whitney Biennial in 1975.
