Willy Bo Richardson describes his paintings of vibrant, vertical bands of color as “philosophy in motion.” Working solely within the framework of vertical strokes, the artist uses color, proportion, and line to create works that have a physical and emotional impact on the viewer. He characterizes his practice as “a sort of meditation, a give-and-take with gravity and the universal laws that determine our experience of the physical world.” By intentionally veering away from representational or narrative imagery, he seeks to confront and convey an enduring fascination with the unchanging mind itself, actualizing through the use of color and line “a humming field that suspends the sensation of time.”

Artsy’s mission is to expand the art market to support more artists and art in the world, a platform for collecting and discovering art. One can explore current and past exhibitions at museums and galleries, biennials, and cultural events through Artsy. It also hosts select benefit auctions to support nonprofit organizations, including SFMOMA, Public Art Fund, National Gallery Singapore, ICA London, Make A Wish Foundation.
