About the Artwork:
“This is a part of an ongoing exploration of old folklore characters from cultures around the world.
The Djinn is interesting almost as a ‘trickster’ archetype. While having an ambiguous physical presence by kind of existing in two worlds at once, their intentions are also ambiguous, disguised as wanting to help you and manipulate you through giving you access to your desires.” – Richard Ingersoll

(Artist Bio)
Richard Ingersoll is a Denver based artist who expresses work across many mediums but tends to most frequently find a home in oil painting. While he has practiced traditional forms of art since a very young age, his artistic journey became the focal point of his life after taking residence in the Westword award winning psychedelic pirate DIY house venue known as Mouth House in the 5-points district of Denver in 2010. It was here that the vision of a career in visual arts crystallized doing comedy and live entertainment poster illustrations, merch design for bands, live painting at music events, showing at the Red Wolf Gallery, and booking music and showing work at the VFW post 1 in Denver’s Santa Fe art district. Since then he has shown in venues all over Colorado and across the country, sold work all over the world, and continues to do freelance work and show while keeping it weird.
