RICHARD ELLIS
COMPLETE WORKS

A foreboding painting that emphasizes the reality of the human condition. A stricken figure is laid prostrate in a landscape of grass. He could be dead. We look to the title for some sort of clue to the condition or fate of the man in the foreground. A dark and brooding sky engulfs the scene, threatening his existence as he lays undisturbed. The graffiti walls behind does little to calm our nerves. And what is more disturbing is the existential figure behind in the background right, that simple ignores the supposedly dead man and continues eating his lunch, either unaware or uncaring in an uneasy dynamic. John Celchulski

LATEST NEWS...............

Everything is going fantastic! Its all happening at last. I am now in a top New York gallery called Geoffrey Harrison. geoffreyharrisongallery.tripod.com/index.html My paintings are selling out and I am looking for between $50,000 to $100,000 at least. Hopefully they will go up and up! My work is sort after everywhere and I should be arranging an interview with the art mag: "New York Contemporary Painters" , shortly. It will be a full color spread and details of who I am and the life I have led. I have finally made it to "Art Superstar" status with all the other major artists in New York City. This hasn't happened overnight. Suddenly I have been invited to well known artists studios, out to restaurants, top and inclusive special viewing before the openings. Museum curators are even interested but I cannot tell u who they are at this stage, as they wish to remain anonymous. Also top New York Galleries (in Chelsea mainly) are literally grabbing for my work. Its amazing that now they want to know everything about me and Geoff Harrison's phone hasn't stopped ringing. He has just done a deal with an Arab just recently. Geoff Harrison has had to hire an extra full time secretary (Caroline Oxley-she knows who I am so well), to keep up with demand!

PUBLISHER'S NOTE: This is a work of fiction. Characters, names places and incidents are the product of the author's imagination or are used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons living or dead, locales, events is entirely coincidental. All texts and photographs are originally published under a pseudonym and were intended as experiments in the usage of disposable forms of articulation for the purposes of thought control. For example, because art is the vehicle of self-expression, it was thought that criticism would be an effective way of effectuating a hostile takeover of the artist's attempt at self-presentation. In other words, the original image would be seized, translated into a different medium (i.e. language), and then forced to say things never intended by the artist.
