Lauren Hixon's Treasures II

A square canvas of considered scale, Lauren Hixon's Treasures II arrives hand finished and touched with gold leaf, its acrylic surface carrying that luminous, worked quality that distinguishes fine art from mere decoration. At thirty-six inches across, the composition commands a wall with quiet authority — substantial without overwhelming, precise without rigidity. From John Richard's own collection, it speaks to a curatorial sensibility that understands art not as an afterthought but as the organizing gesture of a well-conceived room.
