Label Text:Mystery and adventure lie just beneath the surface in Richard Bosman’s quickly brushed paintings. 11:05 to Chicago evokes a narrative out of a film noir or a comic book. Why is a gun falling from the train? Whose gun is it?
Bosman uses an exaggerated, cartoon-like style to present powerful images related to crime and catastrophe. His subjects both disturb and entertain, suggesting why he became one of the most important narrative artists to emerge in the 1980s.
