About the artist
The landscape and still-life arrangement have been areas of concentration for Randy Richmond for much of his career as an artist. These two genres merged in a body of work that became solo exhibitions at the Figge Art Museum (Davenport, IA.) titled “Verisimilitude” in 2019, and “Subtext and Overstory”, at the Dubuque (IA) Museum of Art in 2022.
Richmond has shown his work in numerous solo, group, invitational and juried exhibits nationally and internationally. He has been represented in eight museum exhibitions including four group exhibits, three invitational exhibit and two solo exhibitions. His interpretation of environmental issues has been the focus of special exhibits created for the Door County Land Trust (WI), the Keeweenaw Land Trust (MI), the Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation and Nahant Marsh (IA.). His work is in permanent collections at St. Ambrose University in Davenport, IA; the Figge Art Museum in Davenport, IA; The Center for Fine Art Photography in Fort Collins, CO; Kishwaukee College in Malta, IL; and Project Art of the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. He balances his creative time with teaching photography as an adjunct instructor at St. Ambrose University in Davenport, IA.
Artist Statement
Over-explaining these still-life images would diminish the purposeful under-explaining they provide. They are inspired by relationships between people, and people and the environment. The ambiguity fuels an emotional response. Large gaping voids are left between purpose and understanding, focus and air, line and surface. Beauty emerges from places unfamiliar to the experience. The roadmap to understanding is a collage of tattered memories taped together, roughly folded and stuffed into an age-stained envelope, not quite large enough to hold the contents.
