Richard van der Aa‘s works are reductive paintings that examine the point of tension between painting and sculpture, as well as object and image.
Richard lives and works in Paris, France. He was born in Christchurch, New Zealand in 1963. Richard graduated from University of Canterbury and graduating in 1985, presenting his first solo exhibition – at the C.S.A. Gallery in Christchurch – the same year. Since then his work has since been exhibited extensively in Australia and New Zealand, and in recent years, in the Netherlands, France, Germany, Poland, the UK and the USA.
