Willy Bo Richardson (born June 8, 1974) is an American artist regarded as one of many contemporary painters revisiting late Modernism. Describing his paintings as “philosophy in motion,” he paints large scale canvases in vertical fluid strokes, using a non-linear approach. Richardson States, “When 'disruptions' are a norm, perhaps what we are looking for is a loadstone that points towards consistency and quietude. My paintings offer space for peace and contemplation of beauty in the moment.”
