The Power of Negative Space: Richard Gibson’s Take on Minimalist Art

A conceptual, timeless, feminine figure created in a graphic, minimalist style, embodying sensuality and strength within a surreal, geometric concept. It resonates like a single note played on a piano, a contrasting yet harmonious composition with internal dynamics and power.

A conceptual, timeless, feminine figure created in a graphic, minimalist style, embodying sensuality and strength within a surreal, geometric concept.

It resonates like a single note played on a piano, a contrasting yet harmonious composition with internal dynamics and power.

The subtle richness of the solitary figure at the center of the work stands in perfect balance with the negative space, where the emptiness of white is just as significant as the dark silhouettes. Like the art of drawing a hieroglyph, each piece is entirely unique, a metaphysical expression. A multinational, discreet visual statement that prioritizes high aesthetics above all else.

About Richard Gibson

Richard Gibson is a polystylistic young author with a mature artistic style, specializing in fine art and fashion photography. A surrealist visionary with a background in contemporary art, he excels in mixed media, seamlessly blending photography and graphic design to create minimalist compositions in both color and black & white, reminiscent of 20th-century art movements.

He pushes the boundaries of aesthetics, exploring human individuality through color and form, while experimenting with paradoxical avant-garde concepts and techniques. Inspired by Fauvism, Minimalism, and Conceptualism, his work evokes vivid emotions, expressiveness, graphic precision, metaphorical depth, harmony, and perfectly balanced compositions infused with inner power and new aesthetics.

Gibson holds three higher education degrees in art and media communications, sociology, and economics. He has built a 13-year career in video design, animation, marketing, directing, and production.

His work has been published by FORM Gallery in Paris, including the book 100 Contemporary Photographers (2024). He has exhibited in fine art galleries and received awards in international photography competitions, including ND Awards (USA), LICC (London), IPA (New York), PX3 (Paris), and Photo Nostrum, among others.

Gibson continues to participate in numerous fine art and photography competitions each month and is frequently published in magazines while actively engaging in exhibitions and galleries. His works are available on premium online art platforms such as Saatchi, Singulart, Artfinder, Artling, and Artmajeur. [Office Website ]
