About The Artist: Always drawn to the aesthetic of building forms, Richard Bunkall, began sketching from a perch on the sixtieth floor of a New York high-rise and painting his interpretations. He appreciates not only the magnitude, but also the spiritual inspiration which motivates such sublime structures as Stonehenge and the Flatiron Building. Whether it be a Greek temple of the Empire State Building, in these constructions man confronts his desire to create something more permanent than himself.
In his most recent paintings a new element has emerged; steam engines, planes and ships have found refuge inside massive and ornate warehouses. Bunkall was initially inspired while touring the antiquated locomotives with his children. The spirit of invention projected in the mammoth and complex forms struck him in their parallelism to his buildings. His compositions disclose this symmetry. Bunkall caches these relics of the Industrial Age in museums of his own making. The paintings preserve and honor that which is being lost. He describes his subjects as old souls: their previous contributions examined as man advances beyond his past.
