For my first blog entry I chose to write about Richard Woods, more specifically his solo exhibition which has currently overtaken the Perry Rubenstein Gallery. "The Nature Show" covered the gallery from floor to ceiling with Woods' own designs including paintings and different vivid colors. The artist also introduces "Song Thrush," which Woods describes as "reversed repeat tiles."
I discovered "The Nature Show" through the website We Make Money Not Art and was immediately attracted to his work. After researching about Woods, I learned he is an installation artist from London. This intrigued me even more, because I have a strong interest in interior decorating. In his display, Richard Woods uses painted plywood to cover the entire room and then incorporates additional paintings into the room through using leftover plywood and other materials. I love bright colors and from the pictures I have seen from the gallery it seems there is a strong 70's influence, which is another aspect of the art that I enjoy. The entire room is filled with interesting patterns, juxtaposed against one another adding contrast [as you can see from the image on the left]. This giant melting pot of textures and color would be my absolute dream home.
