Richard is a sculptor of spatial and material presence. He investigates the power of simple forms. When placed in proximity, these forms create synergy with each other and the world around them. His expansive installations use Minimalist vocabulary to convey an inevitable complexity, an ambiguous complexity that speaks to the world he lives in. A social anthropologist for ten years, he became interested in the sculpture of the first generation of Minimalist artists. Nonas was fascinated and concerned by the emotional limitations of their aims. This began a 35 year exploration of the possibility of creating sculpture using the language of abstraction to convey the layered complexities of life itself.
