About the artist
Chicago Artist Richard Shipps explores the ambiguity of form, shape, tone and movement through drawings, sculpture, mobiles and cut paper. His work examines the dynamic tensions between light and shadow and the interplay of negative and positive form.
Since 2000, when Richard left the corporate art world to re-focus on his personal art, he has honed and clarified this vision. His goal has always been to stretch himself beyond what is really seen and understood, and to study form in it's purest sense.
