Tranquil Spirit with Reid Richardson in Laguna Beach
August 3, 2023 @ 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Meet contemporary surrealist landscape painter, Reid Richardson, in Laguna Beach during the First Thursdays ArtWalk!
Thursday, August 3rd
6 – 8:30 PM
Through extraordinary visual imagery, Reid Richardson communicates profound visions of hope for the future and nostalgia for his youth. His distinct color palette, subject matter, and technique resonate with a growing audience. Having an appetite for self-exploration in a modern world, his intention is to exploit the hidden meaning in the simple beauties of life’s nuances. His brush is attracted to creating bold images of poetic skies and surrealistic landscapes. His work has developed over the past years into a complex personal vocabulary of imagery that stirs emotion and engages the intellect.
“My most recent work focuses on the various metaphors a tree provides. A tree is a powerful symbol. It can represent protection and wisdom, personify a human being or teach us about our past. ‘Family Tree’ is a body of work concerned with the idea of what a family is and how we are all connected. I have combined the abstract nature of cumulous clouds, my favorite subject matter, with the structure of a tree to create a visual mystery.”
Enjoy wine, appetizers, and meet the artist at the opening reception of his show during the height of Laguna Beach’s First Thursday Summer ArtWalk!
