The vast majority of Richard Slimon's works deal with the "poetic nature of abstraction." His works are directly concerned with the flat, fluid space of painting and metaphorically are derived from the observable world.
Slimon's work is included in private, corporate, university, and museum collections throughout the country. His many awards include a purchase from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters. He has had twenty-five one-man shows and has participated in numerous invitational and competitive exhibitions. "
