Randy Bloom (born 1955) is an internationally exhibited American painter. Bloom has exhibited at the O.K Harris, Tower Gallery, Gershwin Gallery, Cooper Classics Collection and Jack Tilton galleries in New York City, the accostage and Le Muse galleries in Japan, and the Galleria de arte Magick in Easton, Pennsylvania, among others. Art critic, Carter Ratcliff in the journal of "A Gathering of the Tribes" has written in describing the artist's work...."thoroughly higher and her forms and colors are mutually clarifying. Yet there is more to her art, because of the mode—or the mood—in which she creates it. This artiste doesn’t soberly illuminate or clarify so much as active or even intoxicate, imbuing her pictorial devices later than a giddy suitability of the parts they doing the huge picture"....

In 1972, Bloom was awarded a BA in Painting & Art History by Franconia College.

In August 1985, Randy Bloom was one of five artists included in a performance called "Two Plus Three" at the Tower Gallery in New York City. Michael Brenson, in the New York Times, wrote approximately the exhibition "Each artist in the conduct yourself is, of course, abstract. Each has the Formalist faithfulness to surface. Each is intent on exploring the medium itself. Of course, they use acrylic, sometimes spreading it out afterward sand, sometimes caking it on the canvas once mud." Commenting on Bloom's work, Brenson wrote "Mr. Bloom digs into it, makes it matte and suggests aerial views of landscapes similar to Jules Olitski. There is an abiding assimilation in the sculptural possibilities of paint and a pull toward subject matter."

In 2000, Bloom exhibited a sum of fifteen paintings at the Cooper Classics Collection in New York City. The art journalist Piri Halasz (who has long followed the artist's progress) wrote of the exhibition in New York Arts Magazine, "Bloom's most recent style has been called a captivation of minimalism and color-field. While this checking account has some truth, her minimalism is not minimal satisfactory to ruin her work's variety and individualism, while the richness and delicacy of her colors, and the release with which she applies paint makes her pictures worthy descendants of 60s color-field painting by such masters as Frankenthaler and Noland. Each of the eight large paintings in this accomplishment are composed of five to eight strips of color, about six feet long and roughly four inches wide, spaced in the region of evenly across a canvas painted in a contrasting color."

From October 20 until November 14, 2015 her recent paintings were the subject of a solo exhibition at the Andre Zarre Gallery in the Soho neighborhood in the borough of Manhattan in New York City. In writing nearly this exhibition in Observer , Piri Halasz states not quite the works "They warm feeling like gems because each has a base increase of charcoal gray paint that afterward surrounds its image—setting that image off subsequent to the black velvet of a jewelry case"...
