Richard Kaufman

In my paintings, I combine the principles and techniques of East Asian brush painting, referred to in Japan as sumi-e, and those of Western art. I use “rice” papers, of which there are many types, brushes with natural fibers, Chinese and Japanese inks, and watercolors to depict scenes from the natural world. Chinese calligraphy strokes are the basis of my brush work.
My ultimate goal is to capture the mood, energy and life force of my subjects. In addition to their uniqueness and personality, I strive to show the harmony and beauty of all things in nature. To achieve the desired results in my paintings both strength and spontaneity are required.
I have studied East Asian brush painting at the Smithsonian Institution, the Art League of the Torpedo Factory in Alexandria, Virginia, and as a student of several master artists. My works have been exhibited in many group and one-person shows and are in numerous private collections.
