Daniel Richter combines elements from art history, popular culture, and the media to create unique, surreal worlds. These occasionally lend itself to political interpretation, such as works that address immigration or surveillance concerns, but they resist easy classification.
Richter employs strong colour contrasts and abstracted patterning to express an unpleasant emotional tone as images resist resolution into a unified time, location, or even visual space. The scenes’ chronological and geographical confusion heightens this impact. The same may be said for his contoured colour fields, which seem like atlases’ maps yet do not indicate any specific place. They have a strong feeling of conflict and motion.
