Selected for the Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize 2020, for Ruth Richmond, negative space is just as potent as any mark made. In harmonious compositions, Richmond deftly fuses both suspended abstract forms and eerily truthful landscapes. Influenced by nature and the invigoration of movement, her work carries a robust energy that seems to imbue each form with its own rhythm. Whether a closely observed vista, or an abstraction of cell forms, Richmond aims to render dynamism at its essence – no matter how impossible to capture. Her silkscreen prints take this even further, for example, see how “Sunrise over El Pilar” uses minimal colour to grasp at light before it breaks across the sky. Characterised by loose swivelling forms and intricate mark making, her work brings movement to the forefront.
