Born in Newport Beach, CA in 1953 --- Rick Wolfryd is a multi-dimensional artist & writer who has spent much of his lifetime developing his unique cultural vision and word craft outside of mainstream art experience. Currently residing in Mexico City since Summer of 2009, Rick is working simultaneously on his fine art drawings, photography, poetry, and “digital and ideological reconstructions.” Terminology he uses to describe his most recent computer generated art work. In 1998, Rick was Sotheby’s 8th largest client in the world for buying/selling/trading contemporary prints and --- to his credit --- Rick also created and co-founded one of the world’s most successful, independent Contemporary Fine Art galleries based in Los Angeles, CA --- Wolfryd-Selway Fine Art ( currently Hamilton-Selway Fine Art ). Yet Rick’s work and influences have always been guided buy an internal drive and determination to “create sublime statements” outside of mainstream art experience & venues --- where his personal vision remains influenced, but uncompromised. According to the artist: “I am not a great scientifically minded person; I am no extraordinary visionary; I am no pointed philosopher following and establishing new rules; I am no sharp-tongued critic, or self-centered wanderer, or mystic lover of all things and people. My main artistic mission is to leave the world a much better place by inspiring people through my creative work; giving all-of-me through acts of artistry & love; generously trusting that my point of view is “just that” A small “blip” on the map of everything-beautiful (about life ) that matters, and doesn’t . . .
