Richard Bolingbroke and Imari Bowls: Rituals and Meditations September 13, 2008

Inspired by his trips to Asia, Richard Bolingbroke has focused his artistic efforts on still life. His beautiful use of color, orchids and kimonos create works that inspire the imagination. Square and round bowls anchor the fluid blooming flowers that he uses. Uniting the flower and objects creates a sense of, what the artist calls, "a pulsating tension of opposites." The complexities of the paintings reflect the complexities of life.
