Rick Briggs, who has quietly been flying beneath the radar in Williamsburg since 1981, serves up a batch of representational paintings based on a simple illustration after many years as an abstract painter. Briggs’ painting “about painting” is not quite what Clement Greenberg envisioned when he made his injunction all those years ago. Instead Briggs focuses his attention on the dilemma of an artist ensnared by his day job – house painting. Drawing on a variety of sources such as horror films like “The Shining” in a painting like Red Room, Red Room, or from art history in Red Studio, Briggs’s satirical dark humor colors what he calls a fictional autobiography.
