Alternating between abundant visual information and material reticence, Aldrich's diffuse painting practice creates a constellation of formal interpretationsAmerican artist Richard Aldrich is renowned for working within an expanded definition of painting. His works alternate between expressing an abundance of visual information and material reticence. His imagery might range from richly dappled abstractions in oil and wax to a primed canvas containing purely a line written by British psychiatrist Henry Maudsley in 1918. Such variation in imagery is matched by radical interventions into the materiality of the painting itself. Aldrich’s exhibitions are constellations of interrelated but heterogeneous parts that reflect on each other to create different levels of potential understanding, which in a broader sense seek to consider how intelligence is attributed to objects in the act of interpreting them.Featuring newly commissioned essays, this monograph presents the widest-ranging overview
