ARTIST STATEMENT

Richard’s recent abstract still life and landscape paintings have a spontaneous quality that bind strong contours and shapes within a limited palette. These paintings, often large, are of simplified and distorted animated forms. 

In his creative work, Richard tries to challenge perception, perspectives and assumptions about reality, nature and meaning. He focuses on the appearance, behaviours and traits of earth, rock, trees and sky as paradigms; these large natural forms become symbolic and together they evoke gentle, other worldly visions.
