#Triple5
River Oaks' small art spectacle returns for 2023. The 8th Annual 5x5x5 features a remarkably fascinating showing of miniature works from artists across the U.S., coinciding with the gift giving season. Guest Juror for the 2023 feature is Tom Richard. River Oaks is inviting all visual artists to participate in this annual miniature feature. The 5x5x5 Show is a signature event for the Arts Center, allowing patrons to purchase unique, original works of art for holiday gift giving or as additions to their expanding collections.
Tom Richard’s two dimensional mixed media studio practices address issues of history, of making history, of reflection, and of present by combining planned acts of painting specific historical references with spontaneous processes that allow the viewer to move, conceptually, from whimsy to dread. His work has been included in over 100 national juried and invitational exhibitions including Heroes at Central Michigan University, After School Special at the University Art Museum in Albany, NY, Metamorphosis at the Regional Art Museum in Fort Smith, AR, and Twenty Years of Marias Press at the Hilliard Art Museum in Lafayette, LA. He has had over 50 solo exhibitions at venues including the Arkansas Arts Center, the Historic Arkansas Museum, Baton Rouge Galley and Center for Contemporary Art, and numerous university museums, galleries, and art centers throughout the United States. Tom Richard (MFA’93 University at Albany; BFA’88 LSU) is a Professor of Art at the University of Arkansas at Monticello.
