Essay by Michael Lee

Laurie Riccadonna’s paintings at first glance are full of sumptuous color and great detail, exemplary specimens of a master painter’s craft. Both their beauty and craftsmanship, however, are smaller elements of a much larger theme that a casual observer may internalize without consciously noticing. In fact it is something that we humans are all affected by and take great pains to manipulate to no avail: time. You might think time marches unmercifully in one direction. Maybe the poet in you likes to think of it as cyclical. As an artist and thinker Riccadonna has turned these notions over in her head for over two decades, coming up with ways to visualize her relationship to time. In ways both conscious and intuitive, she has sought to represent time as both circular and linear. Like all of us, she knows the human scale of time best, but the artist has attempted to understand it outside of herself to gain a natural and cosmological perspective too. This search for understanding has an unpretentious quality that stems from Laurie’s disarmingly pleasant personality. It allows her work to have an intensity of feeling without seeming exclusionary.
