Picasso Christmas Artwork

Richard Comparey is an emerging artist who makes his home in North Toronto. His works have been selected for exhibition at juried art shows sponsored by the Ontario Society of Artists (OSA), the Colour and Form Society, and Scarborough Arts. Richard has also exhibited with the North Toronto Group of Artists. Artist Statement: Colour is my primary inspiration. In my teens I admired the Impressionists and their use of colour and visible brush stokes to create images with vitality. I have been pursuing this vitality using different approaches. In some of my works I explore the relationships between photography, computer image manipulation, and painting as a means of creating visually dynamic images. In other works I have been exploring the division of images into sections and rendering each with different spatial treatments, and integrating these into an overall dynamic composition.
