Artist Richard Thompson’s studio and home are in upstate New York. His work is informed by the landscapes of that region, as well as those experienced during frequent travels to New Mexico and Oregon, where he maintains a second studio. In his paintings and sculpture, he explores the ambiguity between near objects and far away spaces, between objects close at hand and distant houses and mountains, and the shifting colors and shades of dawn and dusk across the wide horizon.
