Richard Dupont New York, b. 1968

Born in New York in 1968, where he still lives and works.

Dupont graduated with a double major from Princeton University: Visual Arts and Art and Archaeology.

 

His work revolves around the human body, a subject he explores through different media such as sculpture, drawing, installation, painting, and printmaking. He also works with technology and process art: in 2004 he had his own body scanned at General Dynamics facilities at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, and since then he has been working with those images translated into both two and three dimensions.

 

His solo exhibitions have taken place at the Queens Museum, New York; the Carolina Nitsch Project Room, New York; MC Gallery, Seoul; and the Middlebury College Museum of Art, Vermont, among others. He has also had special solo projects for The Armory Show, New York, and for Art Basel Miami.

 

His works are included in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the Cleveland Museum of Art; the Brooklyn Museum; and the New York Public Library Print Collection, among others.
