The Friends of the Dover Library is proud to announce that Needham-based artist Mark Richards will be the Artist of the Month for October. The theme of his mixed media works is "WMD's and Other Personnel Effects." Richards' work will be on exhibit in the library from October 1 to October 30.
In Richards' work, simple household objects are captured in black and white digital images; they have then been embellished and altered using words, images (scans of newspaper images), charcoal, graphite, oil-stick, pastel, acrylic paint and gold leaf.
"The rich eclectic mix of media supports the changed reality of our lives post 9/11," said Richards. "Mundane objects of every day have become a threat to national security. The effects are far reaching."
Richards is based in Needham, and his gallery, Mark Richards Fine Art, is on Falcon Street. In addition to mixed media, Richards' works include American realist oil paintings of Boston and the surrounding areas. For more information, please visit www.markrichardsfineart.com.
The Artist of the Month program is sponsored by the Friends. Each month a different local artist's work is displayed in the library. Pieces are for sale and 20% of all sales goes to the library.
