  • Catalogue Essay

    “Richter purposely eclipses or stretches moments of viewer comprehension so that his repeated insertion of graffiti-like images and visually restrictive, densely layered matter appear to waver between pathos and enchantment. What lingers long after one comprehends the familiar in the paintings is the inexplicable visual and emotional impact of an often violent landscape and shredded built environment filled with the tension implicit in evocations of violence and fear.” (W. Baerwaldt and S. Watson, Daniel Richter Pink Flag – White Horse, Toronto, 2004, p. 9)
