"Out of the Blue"
Opening Tuesday 10th of October 2006
@ Mosman Gallery
"Bleak House"
Throughout the 35 years that I've been painting, during which time there have been numerous Solo Exhibitions I have invariably felt bound by certain conventions. These were often determined by what I thought the gallery or the puplic were expecting me to create. It was not necessarily what I really felt to do.
Throughout this period of my life I have always been fascinated with thoughts of whether everything we do can be explained in causal terms and is therefore determined in ways from which we can't escape.
As an artist I find this a rather negative concept as it would seem to deny the fundamental tenets of creativity and suggest that even a fine piece of art can only be explained in terms of 'cause and effect'
In an almost defiant denial of this idea and in an attempt to prove, through my works, that free will does exist I have in this exhibition caste off all inhibitions; to paint as naturally as possible so as to allow sudden and perhaps unexpected images to appear.
Hence the title of this show which I hope you will enjoy as much as I have in creating

Richard Bogusz was born in 1947 of German/Polish parents.
When he was five his family moved to Australia.
Gifted with an abundant imagination and a natural
ability to draw, his artistic talent blossomed early
and continued through his student years.
In
1986, Richard and his family settled north of Townsville
where they lived an idyllic beachcomber's existence. It
was here Richard embraced the vibrant tropical colours
that worked so well with his vivid imagination and
narrative paintings.
After
fifteen years of this carefree life, Richard felt he
needed the stimulation that can only be found in a busy
city. In July 2001, the family moved to Brisbane.
Richard has always held a great desire to work things
out for himself and to copy no-one.
He
has avoided any external influence, which he feared
would corrupt his unique perception of the world.
This led to dynamic, highly original paintings
which sold before the paint was dry.
Earlier
this year Richard seriously thought he might
stop painting. Instead he found a new direction which
we were proud to launch in his 2005 exhibition aptly
titled "A Return to Base".
