The Art of Richard H. Dawson

The life's work of an unknown artist.

Richard H. Dawson’s work explores the relationship between classical archetypes and the profane. With influences as diverse as Greg Sage, Tex Avery, Victor Hugo and Chagall, new synergies are distilled from both mundane and transcendent layers.

Mr. Dawson was a rebellious punk rocker and self-taught artist who was fascinated by the unrelenting divergence of the human condition. What starts out as yearning soon becomes debased into a hegemony of temptation and a spiraling carnival of defeat, leaving only a sense of nihilism and dread regarding the corroded inevitability of a new order.

As spatial forms become transformed through diligent and critical practice, the viewer is left with an insight into the darkness of our future and an epitaph for the outposts of our existence.

Statement inspired by Arty Bollocks.
