Richard Wilson: Concerning Measure
View through Artsy
For abstract painter Richard Wilson (b. 1944), simplicity is essential to his practice. Using no more than twelve colors in a painting, he strives to remove all discernible indications of his hand on the surface, creating a minimally disruptive visual transmission of form and color directly from artist to eye. Wilson’s objective is a conduction of energy and sensation that will be “useful” to the viewer, whether through provocation of action or thought, or simply by generating pleasure.
