James Richards’ Fevers


Sylvia Kouvali gallery of art is currently exhibiting James Richards’ Fevers, a moving-image exhibition, a tapestry of mixed media in which the artist examines how meaning is generated through the interplay of images, sound, and text.

“I’ve wanted this piece to feel like a fever dream. Unfolding restlessly: surfaces fracture and accumulate, distortions multiply, each image, already marked by prior manipulations, folds into the next. Throughout the work, gestures recur and unravel—a choreography that persists through its own disintegration. The feverish figure resides not in resolution, but in the constant negotiation of visibility, where coherence slips away even as it briefly assembles. And in the end, a procession of flickering eyes remains: aperture, wound, passage. An unresolved flurry where the body yields to vision, vision opens onto disappearance, and the image is swallowed.”
—James Richards
