Rick Anderson's Something In The Orange I

A study in warmth and restraint, Rick Anderson's *Something In The Orange I* arrives through John Richard as a framed canvas work whose chromatic intimacy is held within a ground of white and gold leaf — a pairing that at once grounds and elevates the composition. The shallow depth of the piece, just under two inches, allows it to sit flush against a wall with an almost architectural authority, more akin to a jeweled panel than a conventional painting. At roughly twenty by twenty-two inches, it occupies the precise scale of a considered accent — commanding in the right context, quietly luminous in any.
