ABOUT LUCAS
Lucas Richardson’s art is shaped by a journey that gives his figure paintings a unique resonance. In 2004, a diving accident resulted in a spinal cord injury that left him a quadriplegic, pausing his art for nearly two years. Before his injury, Richardson’s style centered on intricate, detailed realism; afterward, he adapted his technique, allowing his brush to move more freely in response to his physical limits.​
​After attending the University of Central Missouri, Richardson settled in Sedalia, where, in 2012, he and his father built a studio in a detached garage at his home. This studio space marked a turning point, allowing Richardson to fully dedicate himself to his art. Over time, Richardson’s process and style have evolved in step with his resilience, and his work continues to reflect a deep appreciation for the human form and the expressive power of adaptation.
