Recherche, a neurodiverse artist on the autism spectrum, brings a unique perspective to the world of abstract acrylic fluid art. Born in Chicago around 1959, his early life involved diverse experiences, from high school in Nebraska to college in Texas, and a career journey marked by extensive travel. In 2013, a move to the rugged beauty of Maine ignited a long-held passion, prompting Recherche to embrace his artistic calling. It was on the Blue Hill Peninsula that he developed his signature "choreographic" technique, a dynamic process he describes as "dancing with paint."

Recherche’s work thrives on the tension of opposites. He intentionally creates “chaos on canvas,” inviting viewers to find their own patterns and meaning within the vibrant swirls of color. This phenomenon, known as pareidolia, allows for a deeply personal connection with each piece. His art is a study in contrast: vivid, intense hues are set against neutral backdrops, movement is implied on a static surface, and three-dimensional forms emerge from a two-dimensional plane. This inherent contradiction embodies the complex nature of Recherche’s artistic vision.

At the heart of Recherche’s artistic purpose is a desire to ignite engagement and introspection. He envisions his paintings as portals—inviting viewers to step into a dimension where they can explore their own emotions and perceptions. Ultimately, his ambition is to create moments of profound awe, to leave viewers captivated and breathless, an experience he equates with the electrifying intensity of "Hyperkulturemia."

Through his innovative approach, Recherche doesn't just create art; he facilitates an exploration of chaos, contrast, and the power of individual discovery. His work is an invitation to see, feel, and experience the world in a new and deeply personal way.
