What Are These Strange Feelings, with Form Cut from Untitled Painting

Richard Aldrich’s raw, expressive canvases fuse frenetic abstraction with an underlying sense of narrative, which the artist heightens with accompanying exhibition texts. Aldrich—who works across painting, sculpture, drawing, music, poetry, mixed-media assemblage, and more—incorporates a range of styles into his practice. His canvases feature Post-Impressionist and abstract brushwork, while his three-dimensional pieces include bronze figures and vitrines filled with objects. Aldrich also manipulates surfaces themselves, occasionally cutting away segments of canvases to reveal timber backings or recombining fragments of previous works. He has exhibited in New York, London, Berlin, Paris, San Francisco, Tokyo, Rome, and Stockholm, and has shown at institutions including the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the National Museum of Art, Osaka.
