Ricardo Morin Oil Painting on Linen Affixed to Board "Still Eight"
Item Details
An oil painting on linen mounted onto wood board titled Still Eight by contemporary artist Ricardo Morin (Venezuela/New York; b. 1954), dated 2010. A part of the Metaphors of Silence series, the work depicts an abstract scene with grays, pinks, and blues. The application of color and the organically symmetric forms are reminiscent of an ink blot. The piece is not signed by the artist. The item is presented without a frame or hanging hardware.

Based in New York and New Jersey, Morin received his B.F.A. at the State University of New York at Buffalo and his M.F.A. at Yale University. His work has been exhibited at multiple institutions including the Bronx Museum of the Arts; the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York; the Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts in Brooklyn, New York; and many others.
