Diaspora Vibe Gallery

From Brooklyn to Miami. April 6th through May 27th, 2006Diaspora Vibe Gallery presents From Brooklyn to Miami. A new body of work by Brooklyn-based artist, Teri Richardson. Earth-toned hues organically take form and direction in Richardson’s new paintings. Mixing color and light as medium, Teri Richardson layers translucent veils of paint on top of muslin covered acrylic panels. The traditional properties of light, texture, and sensation are animated, and the plastic qualities of paint become fresh and new in this current body of work. Born in Austin, Minnesota, Richardson received a BFA in Cooper Union in 1990 and has participated in exhibitions and residencies throughout the U.S. She currently resides in Brooklyn, New York. “Conceptually, my paintings involve the layering of experience and memory” states Richardson, “And, although I am quite interested in color and abstract form, it is my interest in time and transition into slices of history that has supported my evolution in the archeological tone of my work.” For more information, please call: 305.573.4046
