La danse sur le terrain
Rendue au pastel à l'huile et au lavis acrylique, cette série reflète un domaine délicat. Equus notre compagnon de support et de service joue avec abandon. Le paysage sauvage et/ou urbain nous amène à nous interroger sur la tenue d’un champ qui œuvre pour tous.
Snow Leopard
Seen and Unseen
These sketches open the field to a known landscape with care for our dearest snow leopard also known as the lynx. Golden brown in summer she shifts to the whitest of whites, her fluff of presence signals a remembrance of the warmth of the house cat with the immersive power of the wild.
Translation:
Vu et Invisible
Ces croquis ouvrent le champ à un paysage connu avec soin pour notre très cher léopard des neiges également connu sous le nom de lynx. Brun doré en été, il passe au plus blanc des blancs, son duvet de présence signale un souvenir de la chaleur du chat domestique avec le pouvoir immersif de la nature.
Green Gold Reflections
Witnessing a bird life…
This current body of art is inspired and powered by nature through the witnessing of local birdlife. Commonly swans, heron and small birds reflect a play of spirit on land. These large drawings are rendered spontaneously with tempera and pastel on paper. A primary use of colour is important as birds hold purity in the natural world. These playful drawings inspire lightness of being with environmental concerns.
Translation:
Temoignage de la vie d'un oiseau…
Ce corps d'art actuel est inspiré et alimenté par la nature à travers le témoignage de l'avifaune locale. Généralement, les cygnes, les hérons et les petits oiseaux reflètent un jeu d'esprit sur terre. Ces grands dessins sont rendus spontanément à la détrempe et au pastel sur papier. L’utilisation principale de la couleur est importante car les oiseaux sont purs dans le monde naturel. Ces dessins ludiques inspirent la légèreté d'être avec les préoccupations environnementales.
About
Denise Richard Works of Art (R)
Of a small town in Quebec, Canada, Denise Richards' artistic development had the normal university formation, with an added support of an international influence. Beyond these standards she was supported by indigenous and taoist training and engaged in the making of contemporary art influenced by indigenous traditions. Learning with scholars who's mastery held support for community care, she was inspired by a spiritual way of old. When compassionate care engages the influencing and the making of art – we reclaim natural expression and care for resources.
Large scale drawings vividly funny and inspirational Denise Richards' work engages traditions of old with a heartfelt interest for environmental concerns. The term "Yugen" is commonly used as a way of expressing awe or feelings too deep and too mysterious for words. Her artwork may be seen as a brief spiritual moment - an experience of Yugen. Her use of natural medium: paper, pastel and tempera in practice reflect a fragile world powered by nature - caring and creative forces.
Current bodies of art are inspired and empowered by nature through the witnessing. Commonly the swan, heron and small birds reflect a play of spirit on land, the animal world in service offers awesome support. Thematically the art is rendered spontaneously with tempera and pastel on paper. Colour is important as it holds purity of the natural world. These playful drawings inspire lightness of being with environmental health concerns.
