Timeline
Willy Bo Richardson (born June 8, 1974) is an American artist regarded as one of many contemporary painters revisiting late Modernism.
Describing his paintings as “philosophy in motion,” he paints large scale canvases in vertical fluid strokes, using a non-linear approach.
His father is an artist (painter) and master wood-worker, and his mother was a counselor and founded the first mediation center in Santa Fe.
He studied at UW Madison and received a BA from University of Texas at Austin.
By the late 1990s painting had been declared “dead” several times over.
But for the contemporary painter Willy Bo Richardson, painting became a "practice" to orient himself and find meaning in a post-modern world.
Richardson states, "Painting as a medium still takes root in our historic pre-verbal psyche."
Living in Philadelphia in 1997, he was writing and painting.
Richardson jokes, "I wrote a really bad coming of age novel, and the next year I checked myself in to graduate school for painting at Pratt Institute" in Brooklyn.
Influenced by Robert Irwin’s large scale scrim installation in 1998 titled Prologue: x 18³ at the Dia Art Foundation on 22nd street, Richardson set out to "influence space" with paintings.
Richardson States, ″What blew me away, was Irwin’s comprehension and ability to point to space... Irwin was able to hold my attention with this liminal wonderment.
So I asked myself if painting could be a vehicle to do the same.″
Richardson experiments with a non-linear approach by working with multiple canvases at the same time, exploring spontaneous compositional ideas.
Richardson's painting titled "Number 1," 1999 was acquired by the Albuquerque Museum of Art and History in 2018.
He received an MFA there in 2000.
He and his wife lived in New York City for a decade.
He worked as a painting technician at Cooper Union from 2001-2007.
Richardson taught painting at Santa Fe University of Art and Design from 2009-2016.
He exhibits his paintings internationally.
In 2011 his work was included in the exhibition curated by Stephanie Buhmann at Jason McCoy Gallery in New York titled, "70 Years of Abstract Painting – Excerpts".
The show assembled works by a selection of modern and contemporary painters, including Cora Cohen, Thomas Nozkowski, Josef Albers, Hans Hofmann and Jackson Pollock.
In 2012 he showed a body of work in the exhibition "Watercolors”" at the Phillips de Pury headquarters in Chelsea New York, artists included Alexis Rockman and Eric Fischl.
In 2014 Richardson was selected to be one of the SITE Santa Fe SPREAD finalists.
His work and vision was featured on the PBS weekly arts series ¡Colores!.
He was a guest artist at the Tamarind Institute at the University of New Mexico in 2019.
Richardson is represented by Richard Levy Gallery in Albuquerque, Nüart Gallery in Santa Fe, and Skot Foreman Gallery in San Miguel de Allende.
