---|---|
Born | 1975 (age 48–49) |
Nationality | American |
Known for | Painting |
Richard Aldrich is a Brooklyn-based painter who exhibited in the 2010 Whitney Biennial. [1]
Aldrich received his BFA degree from the Ohio State University in 1998.[ citation needed]
Although mostly abstract and casual, Aldrich's paintings also betray a distinctly literary sensibility, even as he targets what he has called the essential "unwordliness of experience." Snippets of text and random words-UFO, the numeral 4-appear as decals or pencil scrawls, while lines incised with the back of a brush suggest writing once removed. Taciturn pictures carry evocative and ungainly verbal appendages in the form of elliptical press releases or titles like Large Obsessed with Hector Guimard, 2008, a nod to the architect of Paris's Art Nouveau metro stations, or If I Paint Crowned I've Had It, Got Me, 2008, a telling paraphrase of Cézanne explaining he would be ruined if he tried to paint the "crowned" effect of a still life rather than the thing itself.
