Richard Rockwood

Richard Rockwood is a Contemporary Realism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Richard Rockwood kept a jar of turpentine on his kitchen windowsill and painted on rainy afternoons when the light stayed soft and slow. He’d work one stripe at a time, letting each dry before touching the next, as if building a fence across the canvas. Why not see what happens when color gets this deliberate?

Tap Untitled (c. 1975) and watch the quiet hold of a single cadmium band against a mossy field, no hurry, just attention.
