Richardson, Willy Bo
Willy Bo Richardson describes his paintings as “philosophy in motion.” By intentionally veering away from narrative imagery and discursive paths, he seeks to confront and convey an enduring fascination of the unchanging mind itself, actualized through the use of color and line “a humming field that suspends the sensation of time.”
Richardson received an MFA in painting from Pratt Institute in 2000. He was a painting tech at Cooper Union in New York and a faculty member at Santa Fe University of Art and Design. His work is appreciated and collected internationally. Collections include the Albuquerque Museum and Diamond Way Europe Center in Immenstadt Germany. His paintings were featured on the PBS weekly arts series, ¡COLORES!. This year, Richardson was a guest artist at the Tamarind Institute at the University of New Mexico.
