About the event
Join us at Leedy-Voulkos Art Center on Saturday, April 12th at 1:00 PM for an artist talk with Richard Mattsson, whose exhibition Moments Noticed is currently on view in the Front Gallery. Mattsson’s work reflects a journey from abstract expressionism to direct observation, with a meditative approach shaped by his early studies at the Minneapolis School of Art and his time in Japan, where he encountered Buddhist thought. In this talk, Mattsson will share how his creative process is driven by intuitive expression and a deep connection to both the external landscape and his internal experience. His paintings, inspired by the unpredictable beauty of nature, are a celebration of discovery, color, and composition. Don’t miss the chance to hear Mattsson discuss how painting has become a dynamic, present-focused practice for him, rooted in joy and the magic of creation.
