A fresh perspective from Richard Motchman, as he expands on his exploration of tangled growth and intimate forest landscapes. While his work often draws us deep into the quiet complexity of undergrowth, this stunning new painting, Parksville Bay, Parksville opens outward, revealing coastal rocks and the ocean beyond. The result is a layered sense of depth that still invites the same contemplative looking his paintings are known for.
Born in Mombasa, Kenya, and raised in Penticton, BC, Richard's artistic journey began at an early age. Inspired by his reading of Vincent van Gogh in his teens, he became determined to pursue a life in art. Richard went on to earn a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual Arts from the University of Victoria in 1982.
