Richard Vergez

Richard Vergez is a Cuban-American visual artist. He was born in Philadelphia, PA and currently works and resides in Brooklyn, NY. His background in graphic design and audio/visual collaboration is reflected though his hand-made collaged works on paper and mixed media. Imagery which combines both human and technological elements relates to ideas surrounding an ever-evolving modern identity.

His work has been featured at No Romance Galleries in TriBeCa, Chicago Urban Arts Society and Kids of Dada in London; as well as numerous blogs and international publications such as PluzUltra in Argentina, Mekanik Copulaire from France, Juxtapoz and Stylesight in the US. His work is published this Summer in a new book by Barcelona based publishing house Index Book, called CUT OUT FOR COLLAGE.

His musical collaborations with choreographer Ana Mendez have been presented at the Adrienne Arsht Center, Miami Art Museum, MoCA, Bas Fisher Invitational and the De La Cruz Collection.
