Bob Richey of Warminster, PA will be the featured artist at the Stover Mill Gallery, Erwinna, PA which opens its 2023 exhibition season in April, 2023. Bob Richey’s solo exhibition titled, Capturing Color, Light and Texture with Pastels begins with a reception for the artist on Saturday, April 8 from 1-5pm.
This exhibition will offer a very diverse selection of Bob Richey’s intimate pastels created with much energy in a single sitting. Bob’s pastels often explore the out of the way and overlooked corners of both the rural and urban landscape. The major goal as stated by the artist, “is to strive to make the geometry of the world accessible, inviting and beautiful”. Bob’s artwork is strong on composition and he states that, “I want every part of the image to pull its weight with nothing being wasted or overdone.”
Bob is a mainly self-taught artist who has been exhibiting his artwork in the Bucks County area for almost 50 years. During this same period, Bob also pursued a 25 year engineering career with the United States Navy, eventually taking an early retirement in 1996 to pursue his art career full time.
Bob has won over 100 regional and national awards for his pastels included multiple awards from the annual Phillips Mill Art Show and a purchase award from the James Michener Art Museum. Bob is one of the featured artists in the popular book, Artists of the River Towns, by Doris Brandes. Bob is a designated “master artisan” with the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen.
