RITCHARD RODRIGUEZ | 50 YEARS OF PAINTING The book is a 90 page retrospective of a 50 year career, well illustrated including 70 paintings, figurative, portraits and abstractions, each copy signed by the artist. Softcover with a matte lamination, it measures 7.5″ x 9.25″. When admitted to the High School of Art & Design, New York’s most prestigious for all talented students, Ritchard Rodriguez aspired at being a fine comic-book penciler during that industry’s renaissance. Ironically, he instead graduated an oil painter, and that was 50 years ago. Born in NYC, Rodriguez studied painting and sculpture under mentors Gilbert L. Stone and Jonathan Borofsky. Despite the era of Minimalism and the futuristic direction of Borofsky’s work, thanks to Stone his work figuratively followed within the footsteps of the European old masters, primarily seduced by the Dutch, later by Germany’s ‘Neue Sachlichkeit’ of the 1920s. The 1980s spent in Europe exposed Rodriguez to the evolution of painting past, present, and the approaching 21st century. After 15 years of academic realism, he chose to shed it for his very own abstraction, freeing up his hands, constructively creating without limits nor regrets. Tongue-in-cheekily “corrupted” by a video of Willem de Kooning working in his studio was principal in a revelation, as the young artist watched in awe: “One merely needs to seriously master his/her techniques and visions as a painter, that alone will enable an artist to just about do anything, doing so successfully.” Rodriguez’ paintings include collage, Asemic art, but remains mostly rhythmic suggestive work of pure oil paint while ever bearing drawing, composition and design. 2024 commemorates Rodriguez’ 50th anniversary of painting. “I see my paintings as living creatures with shapes, problems and solutions that I address within a candid dialogue, stemming from pure spontaneity*, entering a space of concentration, rhythm, physical gesturing, and an understanding of where a work wants to go.” *”…Spontaneity is, after all, total sincerity — the whole being involved in the act without the slightest reservation…” — Alan W. Watts
