Richard W. Fuller is an award winning American artist creating contemporary figurative works in the style of the cubist, modernist, and pop-art periods. A two-time juried artist, the California-based painter’s work is inspired by his life experiences. After serving in the US Army, Fuller resumed his studies in fine art and real estate earning a degree in Real Estate. This allowed his artistic practice to evolve in tandem with his home life and career, resulting in his well developed and informed body of work that exists today.
Fuller is a master of technique and form. His style has been evolving throughout his life, but his most noticeable influences are California settings and the Cubist, Modernist, and Pop-Art styles. In his most recent work, he uses a limited but vibrant color palette with sharp diagonals. He often features figurative subjects constructed in varying styles; one may take the form of an abstract woman constructed of geometric shapes, another is a young woman with fauvist accents, lounging beside a Hockney-esque pool. Each piece is a moment in stillness in which the viewer can quickly become captivated by Fuller’s aesthetic and stylistic renderings.

For me, executing my art takes me on a creative journey, hopefully resulting in a gratifying conclusion. Once I am struck with an inspirational idea, I am compelled to explore and create a piece of art with the goal of satisfying my own curiosity and that of the viewer. I begin a piece by choosing a subject or technique that speaks to me in that moment. The inspiration can come from people I know, artists whom I have studied, or techniques I want to emulate, all of which derive from a deep connection to the stimulus. I want to create work that can stop a viewer in their tracks and capture their curiosity as they explore the piece. The body of my work reflects my life experiences and my love of all types of art.
