Richard Overstreet creates a world of ambiguities inhabited by shadowy figures. Details are obscured beneath layers of paint or are sketched in so lightly as to be almost imperceptible. Overstreet’s paintings are evocative more than descriptive, and focus less on the figures than the drama that results from their interaction within a given, yet purposely vague, situation.
Richard Overstreet studied art history at the University of Berkeley. Holder of a Master in Fine Arts, he moved to Paris in 1968 where he became, among other things, a journalist for Time Life.
From 1963 to 1967, he was a photographer, assistant to producer Alexandre Mnouchkine and production assistant for Associated Artists. It was during these years that he collaborated with Joseph Mankiewicz, François Truffaut, Philippe de Broca and Louis Malle.
In 1968, he was first assistant director with John Huston, then with Anatole Litvak and Joseph Losey.
From 1975, he devoted himself entirely to painting and photography; many exhibitions are dedicated to his work:
Galerie Lambert Monet, Geneva, 1972, 1982;
Roy Boyd Gallery, Chicago and Los Angeles, 1983, 1984, 1986;
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco, 1986;
Galerie Montenay, Paris, 1993;
Gallery Paule Anglim, San Francisco, California, 1995, 1998, 2001, 2005, 2006.
A great friend of Leonor Fini, he is very involved in promoting the artist’s work. He is the author of the photographs in the book Miroir des chats. He also collaborated on four retrospective exhibitions and made possible the reconstruction of the famous Leonor Fini salon as part of a permanent exhibition of the artist's works at the Saint-Roch hospice museum in Issoudun. He is a regular exhibition curator at the Galerie Minsky in Paris, a place devoted exclusively to the work of Leonor Fini.
