(Washington, ME) The Gallery at Gibbs Library in Washington will be showing recent systemic paintings by Washington resident Bob Richardson from July 8th through September 1st. Richardson, known also as a musician and composer in the Midcoast area, was twice Artist in Residence at the Robert M. MacNamara Artist Residency Program on Westport Island. His work was selected for the 2008 Biennial Show at The Center for Maine Contemporary Art and has recently been shown at Aarhus Gallery in Belfast.

The concepts behind this work, with roots dating back to graduate school at the University of Hartford, were revisited by Richardson during the MacNamara residency and vigorously pursued in his studio during the past three years. Says Richardson: “My work is a sensory as well as sensual response to seeing and hearing in the natural world, much influenced by my lifetime involvement with music. The resulting images take on a rhythmic, ordered form. My work is not about depicting what is seen, the external, the known. It is about attempting to grasp and share what I internally 'see', that which is perhaps not known, but felt.” A public reception for the artist will take place on Friday, July 9th from 5:00 – 7:00 pm at the Gibbs Library located at 40 Old Union Road in Washington.
