Pavé Atelier : Richard van der Aa

ROMANCING THE MINIMAL

Richard will speak about the poetry of objects and his use of the objet trouvé in his work. Using projected images, he will share how his work developed over the last 40 years. There will be time for questions and discussion.

ARTIST :
Richard van der Aa lives and works in Paris, France. Born in New Zealand, he studied painting at the Ilam School of Fine art (University of Canterbury), and he completed a Master of Fine Arts at COFA (University of NSW).
A recurring concern in van der Aa’s work is to locate painting at the point of tension which exists between object and image. Put another way – he tends to work in the space between figuration and abstraction.
