Don Richa producer of visual, musical and digital arts, Don Rich injects elements of his barbering background and avant-garde cultural experience to achieve an aesthetic which encompasses decades creative evolution. His work exhibits the visions of a subversive enigma and elevates the clandestine and unseen to a level of palatable across many stratus of social understanding. Described as a "life artist," his artistry permeates through every aspect of his efforts. The idea of commandeering vacant storefronts and basements has been pioneered as a philosophy as he seeds his method into the mundane and cultivating the sublime.
His visual work shows a geometry of loose circles within the human figure that abstract symmetry pulling out of sacred genre. In 1995 he started dating his work with -05, referring to the countdown to the new millennium. -02 marks 1998 and +02 would be 2002 and continues to 2025. Automatic writing was used to create language within geometrics in figures.
The electronic music produced from 1998-2025 is a progression of pushing boundaries of time period genres. Most recordings were never published. Samples and sound banks were hand crafted uniquely from scratch. The music discography from 1999-2025 is now AVAILABLE.
A substantial amount of his visual work is undocumented and Lost. Prior to the digital frontier, few photos exist of what he accomplished and the purpose of this retrospect is to collect the art and music he has produced over the last 25 years..The hunt is on to locate / document missing pieces of his body of work from 1990-2025.
