Ridley Howard

Excerpts from Beer with a Painter. 
​
"I like making paintings that can be read in multiple ways, all in one synthesized image."
 
"I like that painting is inherently fictional. I have always been interested in the decisions painters make within that space — the kind of experience they create."

"The willingness to give yourself up to a fictional space, which ultimately doesn’t mean anything, is something that I admire in people. It’s about believing in it, and being passionate about it, despite a colder logic... I think it’s good to maintain some of that irrational romanticism."
