Bob Richardson's Bio !

 

The inventive work of seasoned sculptor Bob Richardson blurs the lines between form and function, the sublime and whimsical to the mysterious and profound. This is an award-winning artist and sculptor of musical instruments that include wood, brass, copper, steel, and aluminum.  Acclaimed for his ingenuity and creativity, Bob produces his pieces from his studio workshop in Safety Harbor, Florida.  

Bob has created over 27,000 musical instrument creations over the past 47 years.


In addition to his musical instruments, Bob is an accomplished painter.  Bob has created over 3,000 pieces of impasto art paintings (using really thick paint),  over 1,000 spin art paintings by using a homemade spinning machine constructed from two bicycles, hundreds of contemporary - figurative paintings and nearly 750 U.S. Flag creations by upcycling actual U.S. Flags and mounting them on canvas.

Bob has profoundly influenced other artists and the world at large.
