Time Dissolves Here, a solo exhibition at Nüart Gallery of more than twenty paintings by Willy Bo Richardson. Luminous chromatic paintings explore the emotional and psychological resonance of color. Richardson creates spacial planes that invite stillness and contemplation.
Driven by an avid curiosity and a profound commitment to listening and looking, Richardson’s work presents itself as a multi-decade series. His paintings can be seen as highlighting an optical effect, or through the lens of an ideological framework. The intuitive cadence of his brushwork translates into a visual experience that feels both meditative and alive, where repetition becomes a kind of visual music. Letting intuition take precedence over deliberation, he approaches painting as a physical dialogue—a direct, embodied response to color and gesture.
Color, for Richardson, operates as an emotional geometry: a system of relationships that push and pull, harmonize and collide. He explores how certain hues can soothe while others energize, striving to create combinations that evoke a balanced emotional response—both calming and awakening.
Time Dissolves Here offers an invitation to pause and to return to the essential elements of being.

Created in Richardson’s signature style these 24 x 36 inch paintings complement a space both individually or as curated groupings.
Richardson says about the series Carrying and Soaring, “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.”

“Immersive Fields” brings together the work of Willy Bo Richardson and Lloyd Martin.
Both artists explore the structural boundaries of abstraction through their notably singular approaches to composition. Between Richardson’s pulsating vertical strokes and Martin’s meticulously constructed grids and stripes is an immersive field of cadenced pattern and tonal curiosity. Aligning out of this intersection of form is a space of contemplation in motion where reverie and vitality converge.
