About Richard Pasquarelli
Richard Pasquarelli’s paintings make visible the relationships between physical reality and the mind. Through analysis of his own obsessive compulsions for symmetry and order, and research into mental health, psychology, philosophy, and his field research in the homes of those affected by OCD or hoarding disorder, Pasquarelli seeks a better understanding of the connection between mind and matter and its observable presence in the world around us.
