Lines in Fashion II

A study in restrained geometry, *Lines in Fashion II* by John Richard resolves itself into something quietly authoritative — acrylic worked to a satin finish that holds light with the same measured composure the composition itself demands. At thirty-seven inches tall and twenty-five wide, the piece occupies a wall the way a well-placed architectural element does: purposefully, without apology. It is the kind of work that rewards a considered hang, equally at home above a console in an entry hall or anchoring the longer wall of a drawing room.
