CASEYRichard L. Casey was raised in the Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts, an artist's haven, and home of the prestigious Tanglewood Festival.  Today, Casey is a successful artist in his own right, with abstract expressionist paintings that hang in the corporate collections of such giants as Columbia Pictures, NBC, IBM Corporation, and Avco Corporation.Casey's talent was evident at an early age. Officials at the Berkshire Art Museum were so impressed with his work that they sponsored his art classes at no charge.  French painter Lionel Gogin was also quite taken with his work and tutored him for two years. Casey's formal schooling included study at the Art Center in Los Angeles and at UCLA. Before he turned to art as a full-time profession, however, Casey embarked on a career as an architect and homebuilder, working with several of the country's largest real estate developers and construction companies.A few years later, Casey renewed his pursuit of the arts on a part-time basis and began exploring a variety of media, concentrating on intaglio and serigraphy, and producing a number of limited editions that sold nationally. For several years, he worked privately, exploring new printmaking techniques and seeking his own statement for his work. The result combined his artistic and architectural skills, launching a new concept in the design and construction of luxury estate homes in Los Angeles' Malibu area. There, he formed Richard L. Casey Associates and brought together a team of talented young architects to create homes as works of art.  During that time, Casey was also pursuing his personal artistic expression, introducing a suite of limited edition etchings that was distributed nationally.After five years, Casey left the home-building business, moved back to the East Coast, remodeled an old papermill into a studio, and began devoting all of his time to his art, emphasizing paintings on paper and handmade paper works; works that have been described as "structures in flight" --kites, ribbons, banners, and clouds of color that are dazzling in their execution. When Casey is not painting, he is running a facility for state-of-the-art handmade paper, where he says, "I have developed techniques for papermaking that have never been used before."Casey divides his time between the East Coast and the Southwest. While both regions influence his work, with his more recent move to the Southwest has come a change in Casey's artistic approach. "The desert has changed a lot of my creative thinking," he states. "It's my time now to slow down. This new work represents more of my real self. I'm painting not from design techniques, but from my primal self."Although many of Casey's creations reflect a calmness and an introspective attitude -- with paintings done in soft shades of desert tans and the brown earth tones of the Southwest mountains -- today, the translation of Casey's realization of his "primal self" has him painting in a rather unconventional, yet highly effective, manner. Scooping paint up by the handful, Casey throws it at the canvas. He then smears it with his hands, squeegees, rags, and anything else that is handy -- hurling an attack that results in a dazzling whirlwind of color. Powered by eBay Turbo Lister Place a Bid!
