Richard Salcido's work encompasses the process of exhibition development by
creating an 'exhibition-worthy' piece under a daily time constraint from
inception to completion, and embracing the idiosyncratic qualities that
unfinished pieces may include. He states that "on certain days some things come
together and on other days everything seems to fall apart," but accepts each as
it comes. He rejoices both in success and in failure, and finding a balance
between what an artist is expected to put into creating a final piece, and what
actually results. Though he often wonders why he paints everyday given he is
often left with disappointment, he believes that "there is a beauty in it,
because there is a beauty in failing." Drawing from an early influence in comic
books and graffiti, his work features figurative, still life, and typographic
elements juxtaposed with mixed media, and deconstructionist appeal, which
highlights the various layers of the compositional process that he strives to
exemplify within this series. Saturday, September 18th, from 6pm – Midnight
