Richard Brachman Painting and Sculpture
Artist’s Statement
My work is an interpretation of everyday happenings. Our surroundings, the news, politics, people, and the humor and sorrow of reality are what I use as ideas for my paintings, ceramics, and sculpture. Although much of the work is abstract, it is all connected to the phenomena of our lives. I find that, through art, I can gain a greater understanding of the events happening so quickly that they are hard to fully understand as they occur. The artistic practice is a way to gain insights through study and reflection. The capacity to employ many different media is a way to get at the essence of an idea through the materials and style best suited to that narrative’s presentation.
