Divided SelfRichard TaddeiOil on canvas with wood 28 x 28 inches 2024 About Richard Taddei:Richard Taddei is an incredibly accomplished artist with a long and prolific career. He h as shown his visionary paintings in prestigious galleries around the US, for more than three decades. His unique work is also part of the Leslie-Lohman Museum permanent collection. Recent press features include Time Out NY and The Gay/Lesbian Review by Taylor Lewandowski. Reed Massengill is currently working on a book about his life. Well known for creating amazing trompe-l'œil and powerful murals, he shows the same artistic instinct in his paintings: he plays with the eyes of the viewer, instead of merely representing reality. His male nudes are sensual and epic, often solitary figures in a surreal landscape. He uses geometry and light to distort and almost obstruct the view of the subject. Taddei intentionally teases the viewer and brings them into his own mesmerizing dream world. Show more
