Richard Hutter: Bloom
Abstract printmaker/mixed-media artist Richard Hutter, influenced by pop art and minimalist design, has work in public and private collections like University of Washington, Tacoma Art Museum, Swedish Medical Center, and the King County Public Art Collection, and has been commissioned by the Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs and Seattle City Light's 1% for Arts Funds to create a large-scale public mural. Here's an excerpt from the gallery description: "Unified by an ongoing exploration of organic forms seen through an architectural lens, the work combines a range of mediums: painting, collage, printmaking, and drawing. Over his career, Hutter has constructed a unique visual language of floral shapes and clean, repetitive forms created using drafting tools. His vocabulary conflates minimal and pop aesthetics with nostalgic languages of images and writings from textbooks and encyclopedias."
