There's no doubt that Richard Sturm is a new luminary, flexing his talent with a successful leap of vision. What is a surprise is the new-found- land he's wrestled back from the Post-modem painters. What he's telling telling us is an old message with a new twist: let there be light, but according to Stunn." But Stunn's work has its own signature signature style. What we sec when wc look at his paintings is a dazzling riot of colour: they have the brilliantly urgent urgent impact of Byzantine mosaics, an effect that's highlighted by the three- dimensional quality of his surfaces. , Underneath his surface layer, another layer of colour seemingly moves, suggesting that we arc looking at an unfolding story. In this, too, Sturm recalls mosaic artists. His work has a visual rhythm simultaneously joyous, tonic, and full of mysterious depth.
