Jean Richardson's paintings have been described as a kaleidoscopeof raw power, movement, fractured form and color in a head-oncollision between the ancient cave paintings of Lascaux andtwentieth century modernism. Muted earth tones bump into fields ofvibrant, joyful washes; and graceful, sinuous motion fuseslyrically with passages of erratic, anxious energy.
