Richard Bosman (Australian) was born in Madras, India in 1944 and raised in Egypt and Australia. He studied at the Byam Shaw School of Painting and Drawing in London from 1965-69 and at the New York Studio School from 1969-71. The artist lives and works in Esopus, New York State. He is showing for the first time at William Mora Galleries in May 2015.

Bosman first came to prominence in the early 1980's when he was considered part of the Neo-Expressionist movement with its roots in appropriation. The Los Angeles Times observed that Bosman's interest is dominated by "symbolic, emotional oceans not meant to be pretty pictures." Joy Hankanson Colby, art critic for The Detroit News states "Bosman, whose father was a sea captain, translates the fluidity and physicality of paint into highly expressive water. So successful, he has made water his own subject."

He has had numerous exhibitions in galleries in the United States and is represented by Elizabeth Harris Gallery in New York.
