A new body of series-based work by artist Heath Ritch brings together two conceptual methodologies that have been part of his practice for many years. One concept takes a specific system of information, in this instance the logic-based sudoku puzzle, and forces it into an artistic mode of expression. The second explores what he describes as a “detached collaboration” between paintings by other artists and his own practice through homage and reference. The combination of these more regimented methods processed through his own creative input informs the work on view. 

Heath Ritch is an artist living and working in Savannah, GA. He has worked as an art preparator at Telfair Museums for 18 years. He holds a BFA in painting from Georgia Southern University and an MFA in painting from the Savannah College of Art and Design.
