The paintings included in Richard Colman’s fall exhibition Sometimes it’s a Flower, Sometimes it’s a Weed parade rigid, guarded figures that are secluded and closed in on themselves, as if trapped in a fortress constructed by their own body; each one was meticulously laid out in a way where it is isolated yet seamlessly interwoven into the composition. At first glance, the subjects are distinguishable. Upon closer examination, their seemingly boundless limbs gradually fuse into the work’s background, making for a complex visual narrative driven by a manifestation of color and texture. ⁠ ⁠ #RichardColman #LouisBuhl
