Primitive Thoughts Gallery (Abstract) - 1996 - 1999
"On Gilded Wings" AKA "Oow, Ouch"
Pencil drawings are the first stage of this series. Each piece contains objects or elements, known as primitives in 3D modeling. Likewise, the titles, or primitive thoughts are inspired by recollection and supposition of simple thoughts, statements one would make in passing, almost without thought. Use of 3D objects as still-life, Ric explores endless perspectives obtainable from the simplest of elements, combined in various arrangements, surface textures and carefully directed "unreal lighting."
