Richard Heinsohn Sold at Auction Prices

b. 1961 -

RICHARD HEINSOHN received a BFA from the University of Georgia in 1984. The artist moved to New York City in 1986, where he lived and worked for fifteen years. The artist lives and works in Nashville, Tennessee. Heinsohn's vibrant, cratered paintings combine abstract expressionism and surrealism. Working with acrylic paint blended with sand, sawdust, and objects found in his studio, Heinsohn creates canvases akin to ecosystems, engaging themes of decay, transformation, and coexistence. In Heinsohn's words, his use of bold colors "goes well beyond a merely retinal effect," reaching the viewer both intellectually and emotionally. Color and material relations in his work parallel human life on both a macro and micro scale, representing nature's complexities through abstraction.
