Richard Kaufman Artist Statement

In my paintings, I combine the precepts and techniques of East Asian brush painting, referred to in Japan as sumi-e, and Western art. Making a modest contribution to the bridging of East and West cultures in this medium is one of my goals. 

I use "rice" papers, of which there are many types, brushes with natural fibers, Chinese and Japanese inks, and watercolors to depict scenes from the natural world. Chinese calligraphy in seals or "chops" and in writing is used in this kind of painting for several reasons. In addition to the meaning of the characters and their poetic expression, calligraphy itself is an abstract art.

Although there is an eastern aura in my work, my subjects are mostly North American and drawn from my personal experience.

My ultimate goal is not so much exact representation as to capture the mood energy and life force of my subjects. In addition to their uniqueness and personality, I strive to show the harmony and beauty of all things in nature. 

I am a member of the board of directors of the Sumi-e Society of America. 

Music Friday...September, October, November December

Tony Bonazzi and Carolynn Tucker's work are featured. Our favorite Funky band, THE BIG DIRTY put on a great performance outside with audience style seating.

The next few MUSIC FRIDAYS starting in September will be very special. Gallery 141 presents "The Listening Room", hosted by Jason Mundok with a bit of a Later with Jules Holland kind of set up ( up to three performers per night including Jason). We will be experimenting with the Listening room idea and working out how to bring Lancaster music that musicians and music lovers can appreciate in an environment that is intimate and ideal. We will have seating for all three of these events and we will have a donation which will be given to the musicians. It will conclude with a wine reception with the artists.
