Solo exhibition at 212 Arts begins March 1st
212 Arts is pleased to present a solo exhibition of Paul Richard’s work entitled “Negative Man”. The exhibit marks the first occasion that Paul’s vivid portraiture will be in dialogue with his street work. While his portraiture is elaborate and cerebral, his street art possesses a playful sense of spontaneity and quickness as he manages to capture the quintessential short-hand features of his subjects with nothing more than a dripped contour line of paint. Paul’s sidewalk drips have been captivating New Yorkers for over 25 years and have endured with lasting popularity. The recognizability of his work is a testament to Richard’s creativity in and out of the gallery and as such has earned him accolades in such publications as The Wall Street Journal, NY Times, Vogue, the Huffington Post, Architectural Digest, and Time Magazine. His collectors have come to include: Marc Jacobs, Beyonce, Jay-Z, John Varvatos, Justin Bieber, Elton John, Gerard Butler, and Christina Aguilera among many others. His work is also in the permanent collection of the Museum of Fine Art Boston and the Fisher-Landau Museum to name a few.

212 Arts
...is pleased to present the first solo exhibition of Paul Richard’s work in 5 years, “Drip”. Despite his abilities as a representational painter in the gallery setting, Richard’s street art possesses a playful sense of spontaneity and quickness as he manages to capture the quintessential short-hand features of his subjects with nothing more than a dripped contour line of paint. While most artists prefer the vertical spaces in the city's landscape, the drip by its very nature must be on a flat surface, but this is not even the main reason Richard works in this orientation. Even before 1997 when he first moved to New York, Richard has always recognized that people's attention constantly scans the ground in front of them making it the perfect place to find an audience. The recognizability and popularity of his drip work is a testament to Richard’s creativity in using the sidewalk as his canvas.
Richard rolls out red carpet (and drapes) for Greenpoint Open Studios 2017
Paul Richard is honored and delighted to welcome the public to his Brooklyn work-space as part Greenpoint Point Open Studios 2017. Works in various Richard styles (oils and drips in particular) will be on display along with quite possibly a cheekier work especially for the event.

Untitled 77 1/2" x 34 1/2"
While the drips have gotten much of the attention in 2016 and 2017 (including acquisitions separately for pop stars Jay Z & Beyoncé and Justin Bieber), the studio will be well adorned with Richard's classic representation oil work. One beloved piece features the artist and his dog Ranger posing before thick red drapes. The painting is a favorite of Richard's and he keeps it in his private collection.

Drips commissioned for Justin Bieber and his manager
In the Spring of 2016, Richard was commissioned to apply his now iconic drip style to portraits of pop sensation Justin Bieber and his manager "Scooter" Braun. The process of creating drips is somewhat performative in that all works are completed in one sitting, but the first draft rarely meets the artist's high standards. The drip itself is an exercise in repetition until the artist is ready to create the final work. In this video, Richard prototypes one of his drips.
The final work as presented to the singer features his trademark hair cascading over his piercing eyes.
