RICK BEGNEAUD

ABOUT

“The history of contemporary art is shaped not only by singular artistic achievements but also by the relationships, collaborations, and shared intellectual communities that sustain creative innovation across generations. Within this continuum, artist Rick Begneaud occupies a distinctive position. As the nephew of Robert Rauschenberg, one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century, Begneaud has inherited a remarkable artistic lineage while developing a visual language grounded in his own material investigations and conceptual concerns. His practice reflects an understanding that artistic legacy is not preserved through imitation, but through an ongoing commitment to experimentation, curiosity, and the fearless expansion of artistic possibilities.”

“My education came from living, paying attention, and being incredibly fortunate to spend enormous amounts of time with and around Bob Rauschenberg. I learned by watching, by experimenting, by making mistakes, and by staying curious. Over the years I've also learned from other artists, from music, travel, old textiles, nature, relationships, and everyday life. All of those experiences found their way into the work.” - Rick Begneaud
