About the Artist
Richard Parker’s drawings are exquisitely rendered portraits of objects more often used to create artworks than as the subject - pencils and erasers.
His pristine drawings are oversized and flawless in their design, including the marks of hand sharpening on the pencils. Erasers are shown in their unused perfection, speaking to that moment before the work begins and when all things feel possible.
Parker received his BFA from the University of Texas, Arlington and MFA from the University of Southern California. He has exhibited extensively for the past 40 years and his works are included in numerous private, museum, and corporate collections throughout the Unites States.
