BEYOND THE 3RD DIMENSION - A STUDY OF TIME AND SPACE
In 2002, Randy Richards became the first artist in history to combine photos from different times of the day or year into the same piece. Richards had been using Photoshop commercially since the year it was invented and producing this creative style for almost 20 years.
What started as paintings in 1996 developed into digital, assembled photos from 2002-Present. Randy combines 2-3 different photos of the same scene - overlapping and connecting them. He depicts different times of the day or year into each piece, he uses the cube as the device for assembly. Being a 3D package designer professionally, the cube began popping up in his doodles and eventually in his fine art as he was fascinated with time and its effect on scenes. These first became large paintings. Always intrigued with Monet's painting of the same scene at different times of day inspired Randy. Randy establishes a strong sense of space, light and a 3D reality that makes you feel you can step right into the cubes and enter a new dimension. He also p[roduced pieces with just two photos on top of each other and some had different photos next to each other but wanted to make his style even more unique and more difficult to copy. Randy provides a whole new perspective on dimensionality, time and space.
