Richard Weiss returns to Gualala’s Dolphin gallery to present his latest 3D interactive optical illusion paintings, as well as his peaceful and happy whimsical voyages to far away unknown places . “Voyages” opens Jan 6 from 1-3 pm and will be up through Jan 28, 2024 .
Richard Weiss shares his time between Paris and the Mendocino coast, influenced by both cultures in his paintings. His work expresses humor toward the idiosyncrasies of our society. It comments on social and cultural issues by staging icons, symbols, and elements of popular culture into unexpected surroundings and situations. It is as if the characters had stepped into another reality. The work is whimsical, full of joy and wonder.
