past exhibit: journeys by richard ward |
|
Richard Ward is a multi-media artist based in Hampton, Virginia. This exhibition features more than thirty paintings and sculptures that combine symbolic visual references to African American history and culture with themes and objects from everyday life. As he seeks to unite seemingly disparate themes in his work, Ward also employs a highly personal repertoire of traditional and non-traditional materials in his art-making. A serialist, his latest group of works is called the Emulations of Jazz Series. In it Ward seeks to visually express ideas commonly found in the complex compositions of jazz music.
