Richard Pasquarelli Studio

Born in 1968 in New York, Richard Pasquarelli has developed a distinctive visual language inspired by analysis of his own obsessive compulsions for symmetry ordering, as well as research into psychology, mental health, and philosophy. Informed by the legacies of Realism and Minimalism, Pasquarelli’s work depicts the subtle relationships between physical reality and the psyche.

Building upon his academic research, Pasquarelli also seeks out institutional, personal, and everyday spaces which exemplify the relationships he depicts. The interviews he conducts and the thousands of photographs he takes during his field research are integral parts of his practice.
