Mark McDowell's Shi Hana

A composed study in form and feeling, Mark McDowell's Shi Hana arrives as a thirty-two-inch square canvas finished in acrylic — a dimension that commands presence without overwhelming the wall. The work carries the considered restraint one expects from John Richard's curatorial eye, balancing pictorial depth with architectural clarity. At three inches proud of the surface, it reads less as decoration than as object, occupying space with quiet authority.
