Richy Sometimes

Some interesting info + thoughts in this piece - especially about the provenance of Duchamp's "Fountain" - Conceptual art is a bubble https://cstu.io/ac8012 #duchamp #conceptualart

Continuing the obsession with stone, saw this texture and had to ‘put my mark on it”. Combined it with an idea that I had this morning as I emerged from a deep, dream-filled sleep. ————— #encodedartwork #minimalartist #minimalistart #postminimalism #abstractart #abstractartwork #abstractgram #abstracture #abstractphoto #abstractobsession #stone #fade #morsecode

“Formations 2 - 6” (aka “The Histories Of The World - Parts Two - Six”) ————— A few more pictures of the varied rock formations / striations in the cliffs along Newport Beach, Pembrokeshire, South West Wales. Can’t wait to get back there! ————— #minimalartist #minimalistart #postminimalism #abstractart #abstractartwork #abstractgram #abstracture #abstractphoto #abstractobsession #ontbebeach #beachcombing #geology #striations #formations

“Formations 1” (aka “The History Of The World - Part One” :) ————— Recently spent the morning wandering along Newport Beach, Pembrokeshire, South West Wales. Along a 200 yard stretch there are loads of really varied rock formations / striations in the cliffs, which when cropped into like this, really remind me of abstract paintings. This is the first of several images that I’ll post. Apparently this area is made from ‘Ordovician sandstone’ so that means it’s 485+ Million years old. Which does make you feel a little... insignificant. Beautiful though, huh? ————— #minimalartist #minimalistart #postminimalist #postminimalism #abstractart #abstractartwork #abstractgram #abstracture #abstractphoto #abstractobsession #onthebeach #beachcombing #geology #striations #formations (at Newport, Pembrokeshire)

My large abstract piece “Abyss//Eclipse” on the wall @royspeopleartfair last weekend. Inspired by Nietzsche’s quote about The Abyss, it triggered some great conversations with people, about the current state of things - exactly what I was hoping for! --------------- Special thanks to @artistsurfaces for the circular panel - and the other one for my “Screw You” piece in the last post - fantastic quality birch panels - can’t wait to use again! --------------- #RPAFartfair #minimalartist #minimalistart #abstractart #abstractartist #abstractartwork #artfair #postminimal #acrylic #nietszche #nietzschequotes #theabyss #londonartfair #londonart #londonartists #londonartscene (at South Bank London)

I made this piece - “TwentySix - Screw You” - in the depths of winter, so I haven’t seen it in bright, direct sunlight like this before. Day Three of the @royspeopleartfair People and the sun was streaming in this morning - look great, the harsh shadows really accentuating the sharp points and threads of the screws. --------------- #RPAFartfair #makeithappen #encodedartwork #minimalartist #minimalistart #abstractart #abstractartist #abstractartwork #artfair #postminimal #3dart #spikes #londonartfair #londonartists (at South Bank London)

The Eagle Has Landed! All ready to go on the South Bank for tonight’s @royspeopleartfair Private View - hope to see some of you there, or over the next 3 days --------------- #RPAFartfair #makeithappen #encodedartwork #minimalartist #minimalistart #abstractart #abstractartist #abstractartwork #artfair #postminimal #acrylicprints #neon #spikes #londonartfair #londonart #londonartists #londonartscene

“Zip: The Edge” . Having recently revisited the “Zip” work of Barnett Newmann - one of my favourite artists - I was struck by how often you can find that graphical motif if you look for it... ———————— #abstractartist #abstractartwork #abstractgram #abstracture #abstractphoto #abstractobsession #minimalistart #minimalistartwork #minimalistartist #killerminimal #arte_minimal #postminimalism #barnettnewman #zip #urbanphoto #streetart (literally!)

“Potential: Test 2 - Stage 1” . Did another test of the “Potential” Series last night. Despite driving rain and howling wind (some clues to the nature of this series there!) Stage 2 was far more successful this time - but I still need to throw more at it. So, bring on Test 3! —————— #abstractart #abstractartist #abstractartwork #abstractgram #abstracture #abstractobsession #abstractart #abstractartwork #modernarts #minimalartist #minimalistart #minimalistartwork #minimalistartist #killerminimal #arte_minimal #postminimalism #monochrome (at Traeth Mawr Trefdraeth - Newport Beach)

“Something’s Broken” - quick, dynamic photo abstract, a metaphor. ———————— #abstractartist #abstractartwork #abstractgram #abstracture #abstractphoto #abstractobsession #minimalistart #minimalistartwork #minimalistartist #killerminimal #arte_minimal #postminimalism #explosion #dynamic

Work in progress - “Potential: Test 1 - Stage 1” . Finally got around to working on this piece. The stage after this is the most important and whilst I was happy with the results, it definitely needs work, so looking forward to “Test 2” —————— #abstractart #abstractartist #abstractartwork #abstractgram #abstracture #abstractobsession #abstractart #abstractartwork #modernarts #minimalartist #minimalistart #minimalistartwork #minimalistartist #killerminimal #arte_minimal #postminimalism #monochromes #monochromeart
