Richard Nash
Richard J. Nash lives in Oak Harbor, Washington on Whidbey Island, he is a Northwest contemporary painter who works in acrylics.
I’m a northwest native born in Snohomish. I have been a student of fine art my entire adult life. I have my MFA in painting and printmaking from WSU (1976) and have studied art abroad in Europe and Japan.
My paintings are a form of Non-objective Abstract Expressionism. It is one of the "purest" forms of the visual arts. The lack of reference to recognizable subject matter allows manipulation of the art elements with a focus on control of space, line, shape, and color. Although there are significant elements of spontaneity, the process requires careful selection to complete the composition. The inspiration for much of my work comes from the "play" of light and shadows from and on architectural forms in relationship to natural forms. The northwest coastal environment provides much of my palette. My focus is to create a thoughtful work of art that will engage the viewer on a cerebral as well as an aesthetic level.
