About the Artwork:
“This was another piece where it kind of started without aim until it landed where it did. I started out painting a picture of some clouds I thought were interesting on a road trip with my boys and just knew I wanted to paint something fantastic/scifi over it. I had a dream a couple nights later where it ended with me able to fly into this massive tornado storm high up inside the clouds. I saw a few other people up there with me when I’d be in an open pocket in the clouds. It wasn’t evil, as the painting’s title might suggest, it just felt like immense power and freedom. The start of a new era.” – 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.
