Modern Botany I

A commanding vertical presence, Modern Botany I by John Richard extends nearly seven feet in height, its generous scale lending it the authority of a considered architectural statement rather than mere wall adornment. Rendered in paper, the work achieves a surprising depth of texture and tone, proof that the most restrained materials can carry the greatest formal weight. The slender two-inch profile sits flush against the wall with quiet confidence, allowing the composition's breadth and verticality to read as pure, uninterrupted form.
