Richard Fett

Sweater, 2007, acrylic on wood, 18 x 24 in.

Fett’s works demonstrate a balance of technical skill and psychological intensity. His paintings are not personal records. Rather, he analyzes and manipulates sexual mores and social codes for new examinations of intimate interaction. As co-author of the narrative, the viewer is invited to add another layer to the visual dramas. The meaning of the paintings are therefore not fixed, but are constantly changing with each visual dialogue.
