For some reason, I ended up at the Steynberg Gallery's website the other day and discovered the work of Richard Silva. Silva's work is a nice cross between cubism and abstract expression9ism, but he takes it in a direction all his own. I was really excited about the work I saw, and if I had the jack I would have been happy to lay down some bills for his work. Really nice stuff.
I had a lot of trouble finding out more about Richard Silva. All I could find was this:
"A painter, incorporating a mixed media approach within his paintings from old newspapers, torn cardboard, and even boards and scraps of wood."
If anyone has any more information on Silva, let me know. I would be happy to post more about him and his work.
