Artwork Description:
Lisa Liebmann writes in the Art Issue Editions, Inc. introduction essay about the Ten Commandments Portfolio:
'Ten Commandments: Thou Shalt Not Covet Thy Neighbor’s Goods,' Richard Bosman’s lithograph with hand coloring, is a "portrait of greed, in a scratchy nervous style befitting his more ambiguous subject, consisting of two regular guys--the one in the business suit with a tentative hand on the back of the one in shirtsleeves, who seems to be pulling away with clenched fists. Nearby sits an open suitcase of money--and in the background, two shadows. Something tells us that the cool one in the power suit has pulled one over on the other. Something tells us that he'll get away with it--that even God has lost interest in this Commandment."
Artist Biography: Richard Bosman is a Neo-Expressionist figurative painter and printmaker whose work draws on the dramatic, often violent, pop culture imagery of comic books, pulp fiction, illustration, and B movies. Bosman was a member of the New York artist collective Colab, and exhibited at the group’s influential “Times Square” show in 1980 alongside Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Judy Rifka. Early works such as 'Disarmed' (1982) and 'Man Overboard' (1981) are typical of the violent exuberance derived from his pulp sources. His focus has since shifted to rural Americana, nocturnal cityscapes, burning kitchen appliances, and depictions of the Adirondack wilderness, even as he frequently retains the same narrative ambiguity and Pop sensibility of his earlier work, as demonstrated in 'River Rising' (2009) and 'Oven Fire' (2017). Bosman works in a variety of printmaking techniques, including woodcut, etching, lithography, screenprinting, and monoprint.
