Description: Richard Colman paints vivid, hard-edged figurative canvases that combine biomorphic shapes with graphic geometries. These pieces oscillate between abstract compositions and recognizable domestic scenes. They often embrace sexual imagery and themes of life, death, human interaction and isolation.  Women, animals, floating heads, and overlapping bodies are common motifs.  He vacillates freely between figuration and abstraction, at times focusing on pattern while other times on figure and narrative.  Also producing sculpture and installation works, Colman incorporates a variety of media, including paper, wood, porcelain, plaster, glue, nails, and tape—typically using vibrant colors.  Colman’s installations have taken the form of elaborate, psychedelic floor designs and theatrical stages constructed within the gallery.  Colman has exhibited in New York, Los Angeles, Copenhagen, Berlin, Mexico City, London, and Paris. He currently lives and works in San Francisco and on a farm converted to a studio in rural Connecticut.
