Shaun Richards is a painting and mixed media artist living and working in Raleigh, North Carolina. He was born in Brunswick, Georgia, grew up in rural Southeast Virginia and attended UNC-Wilmington, where he earned a BA in art in 1999. Richards’ work focuses on social dynamics, incentives, and identity, along with notions of beauty, and artifice. Through the intersection of text, image, low-brow aesthetics, and repetition, Richards questions our complicity in and responsibility for the world.
