Artist Matt Rich creates dynamic visual experiences by painting arrangements of shapes, color, and textures borrowed from and made in reference to nature. Exploring the principles of flexibility and chance as part of an abstract painting process, the four pieces are refined and compositionally balanced but are clearly made of fragments. The balance between fragmentation and cohesion—parts and whole—connects his work to other processes in our world, including the endless cycles of change, growth, decay, and upheaval in relationship to our surrounding environment.
