New Brunswick artist, Alvin Richard was born in 1962. Throughout his life he has always been interested in art. Although he is self-taught as a painter, he did study perspective drawing during the fall of 1986. His knowledge of art history has been acquired through self-study and visiting hundreds of art galleries and museums in Canada, the United States and Western Europe. He has been greatly influenced by many artists from Atlantic Canada and several art movements, including impressionism, Photorealism and Pop Art. He paints solely in acrylics on gessoed hard board. Artist Statement I have always known what would interest me visually as an artist, and this was to paint the familiar stuff. My sensitivity as a registered nurse, husband and father makes me realize that real happiness lies in the occurrences of daily life. With every painting I am attempting to document a glimpse of observation of those moments. Light, colour, perspective and composition are all vital elements that become an integral part of the work. My mission is to create images that will make you pause and reflect on simple moments that we just take for granted, and to come aware and thankful for all that we already have and were not aware of.
