Rich Sigberman is a North Bay artist who works with watercolor. His early body of  work are reminiscent of early modernist painters. Rich is attempting to maintain a continuity with the past but evolving by altering the geometric cubist style to a more organic based cubism.

In this particular piece, he used cool toned color scheme, with hints of warm accents to create interest in areas, without sacrificing the feel of the color schemata. The transparent effects of watercolor creates a sense of depth and dimension with varying value ranges. His organic evolving elements is spontaneous and energetic that is hinting an expressionistic overtones.

Rich further evolves the concept by adding collaged elements on the painting making it even more interesting visually.
