Richard Hogan simplified his art making to essences and limited his marks to lines defining edges between ambiguous shapes in a mysterious two-dimensional space. These glowing images seem more like drawings than paintings. Similarly, Hogan pushes this idea by starting each painting with charcoal marks which he then rubs out, leaving ghostly reminders of the process of developing his reductive compositions.

Richard Hogan simplifica su arte a la esencia y limita sus trazos a líneas que definen bordes entre formas ambiguas en un misterioso espacio bidimensional. Estas imágenes brillantes parecen más dibujos que pinturas. De forma similar, Hogan promociona esta idea comenzando cada pintura con marcas al carboncillo que luego restriega, dejando huellas fantasmagóricas del proceso de desarrollo de sus composiciones reductoras.
