Bio
​
Richard Talbert is a distinguished Modern Artist whose prolific career spans over five decades, marked by an unwavering commitment to artistic innovation and interdisciplinary exploration. Born into the evolving landscape of contemporary art, Talbert commenced his formal artistic training at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) between 1975 and 1977, cultivating a foundation that propelled him toward advanced academic pursuits. He earned his Bachelor of Arts from Sarah Lawrence College in 1980, subsequently securing a full scholarship to the New York Studio School for the 1980–1981 academic year. His academic journey continued with studies at Pratt Institute in 1983 and further broadened internationally with his time at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge University in 1986. Talbert's dual passion for art and design culminated with both B.Arch (1992) and M.Arch (1994) degrees from the University of Miami, where he also contributed to academia as an assistant to the esteemed architectural historian Vincent Scully in 1992.
​
Talbert's exhibition history is both robust and internationally recognized. Solo shows include landmark exhibitions at the Michael Karolyn Foundation and La Maison du Frene in Vence, France (1985), the Art Loft Hoboken series (1980–1985), Gallery Des Artistes in West Palm Beach (1990), and Bonwit Teller in Bal Harbour (1990). His work has continually engaged with contemporary dialogues through significant group exhibitions from 1980 through to the present day. Upcoming exhibitions in 2025 demonstrate his ongoing relevance and dynamism: "In Good Company" (August 1–September 7, 2025) and "Momentum" (September 13–October 1, 2025), both hosted at The Artful Mind, located at 11 Eagle Street in North Adams, Massachusetts. His contributions are housed in prominent collections such as The Lafer Collection, Hyundai Motor Company, and the Robert and Ethel Scull Collection.
​
Complementing his art practice, Talbert has been honored with multiple artist-in-residence fellowships that have catalyzed critical phases of his creative development. These include the Jane Burr Winslow Award in Woodstock (1974), the Michael Karolyi Foundation residency in Vence, France (1985), and repeat invitations to the Santarella Museum residency in 1998 and 2000. Between 1993 and 1995, Talbert lent his architectural expertise to the esteemed firm Arquitectonica, later contributing to the expansive mural installations at the Times Square Entertainment Complex in New York City during 2001–2002. These projects underscore his rare synthesis of fine arts and architectural design, extending his influence beyond traditional gallery spaces into landmark urban environments.
​
In addition to his visual and architectural work, Talbert's scholarly presence is affirmed through continuous listings in publications such as *Who's Who in American Art* from 1991 through 2024. This enduring recognition reflects his significant contributions to both academic and artistic communities. As Richard Talbert prepares for his forthcoming exhibitions in North Adams, his distinguished timeline—rich with rigorous education, celebrated residencies, landmark exhibitions, architectural achievements, and scholarly acknowledgement—reinforces his stature as a pivotal figure in modern art and design.
