Rick Dula – Logan Lecturer
Hyper-Realist and the Precisionists


Santa Cruz Site #2, 1999, Rick Dula   
What really fascinated me was his hyper-realist paintings of industrial decay.  My thought was, ‘This artist is carrying on the artistic style of the mid twentieth century Precisionist, but with a twist: so many of his painting are of industrial decay not the images of the growth of a mighty industrial power”.

Deb’s Arrow, (1987), Rick Dula
In fact. Rick stated in his talk that Precisionist Charles Sheeler’s work was one of his influences.
