Richard Tuason

Richard John Tuason (b. 1976) is a multidisciplinary artist whose oeuvre spans many forms, including drawing, painting, assemblage, installation, and sound sculpture. He has participated in numerous group shows around the metro and has mounted well-received solo exhibitions. Tuason’s aesthetic engagements move through a consistent habit: the minimal strokes of straight, parallel, and perpendicular lines. His works and compositions form assembled elements that reflect the depth of his attention to detail. Instead of using his art to explicitly communicate a message, Richard Tuason uses his work as a tool for social experimentation. The artist hopes to gauge if his work posits how individuals value art: whether through the meanings it communicates or through the meanings that can be inferred from them.
