World Renowned Artist Randolph Liddon
May, 11 1943 - April 23, 2011

Randolph Liddon 58, who was killed in a plane crash in the Bahamas on Wednesday, was one of the most prominent painter, sculptor and educator to grace the south east in more than five decades. Liddon was known for his artistic depictions of southern culture and life.
A native of Gastonia, N.C., Liddon entered Virginia Commonwealth University intending to be a scientist. He soon switched to art after being encouraged by art educator Reginald Whitman.

"He was one of my brightest students and I remember one day he showed me some of his paintings. I was blown away. I told him that the world needed his art. He will be missed but his art will speak for him now", stated Whitman.

After completing his undergraduate degree Liddon enrolled at Boston University and earned a Masters of Art and a Doctorate in Art Education. In 1990 he established the Art Department at Norfolk State University where he taught until his death. Across the nation Liddon left his artistic mark with more than 30 murals and over 100 paintings. His most talked about painting, "A Time Before Sunrise", still graces the walls of the White House. President Clinton bought the piece during his presidential tenure.

In 2010 a retrospective collaboration of his work, "Randolph Liddon: A Beautiful Love," traveled to museums from Milan to the District of Columbia. He had pieces at local community galleries as well as the Smithsonian. Liddon was known to use several platforms to feature his art with an effort to reach people where they were. He often infused his work with intricate geometric patterns and African motifs, some of which were inspired by seven trips to Africa and the middle-east.

During an interview about his "Randolph Liddon: A Beautiful Love" project he stated, "Art is about expressing love visually and I accepted this challenge as my life's true vocation. When you mix love and art and allow the two to bring people together then you have a wonderful thing. You have something magical.

dolph is survived by his wife Sad don; daughter Reenee don; his brother Jack Don all of. folk, Va. He also leaves behind several aunts, uncles, cousins and a host of friends, colleagues, and students who played very important roles in his life.
His students have organized a memorial celebration of his life at noon tomorrow, April 25th at Brown Hall on the campus of Norfolk State University. Funeral arrangements are being made at this time. Thank you
