Ric Conn

Master artist Ric Conn, an American Expressionist, focuses primarily on figurative depictions of the female experience. He is inspired to look into the realities women face in Western culture. Utilizing oil, acrylics, gouache, charcoal, and ink to exhibit the many forms and textures of the female body applying a soft and muted palette, creating space for his audience to entirely focus on his subjects.

Conn’s work is a modern take on expressionism, using his unique method of evoking emotion, and reaction as he tackles relevant topics through subtle additions to each canvas. Conn explores the opposition between reality and perception. Layers of female characteristics are captured in each one of his paintings- focusing on the essence of courage and beauty in women.

My work is different — it is not conventional, academic, or even the new modernism. I am creating a new avant-garde.
