Omar Richardson's Woodcuts at Wm Turner Gallery

Omar Richardson at Wm Turner Gallery on Krog Street. Stop in to escape the rain at the Inman Park Festival.


It's a spacious, comfortable gallery at the Stoveworks across from Rathbun's. It has an elevated office, skylight. It can handle some very large pieces.

David Wm Turner (in the yellow coat) explained that there were a lot of David Turners and a lot of William Turners so the "Wm" was kind of a search engine trick from before there were search engines.

  2. Fabulous!
    Terry, I think you need to run for mayor, but then you wouldn't have as much fun, nor would we through you. You can always start my day out right.

  3. Amazing! The video was enlightening and his art does give off the Wow effect...brings to mind the Sharaku exhibit of Japanese woodcuts. Thanks for sharing.

  4. I can only imagine the work that went into these! I love seeing wood used in different ways, especially object d'art and art like this. One would look especially great on a large fireplace which stretches to a high ceiling.

    Best,
    Michelle
