Richard Aldrich

Two Planes (with marks)

A delicate interplay of translucency and texture defines this work, as oil and wax merge on loosely woven muslin to create two ethereal planes that seem to hover and breathe. Subtle marks punctuate the surface, suggesting gesture and intention without resolving into fixed imagery. Aldrich embraces ambiguity and restraint, allowing the material qualities of the support to remain an active presence within the composition.
