Richard is an artist based in Worcester. He has lived and worked around Worcester since 1992.
He has travelled the world as a photographer having his own photography studio until 2010.
He recently graduated from the University of Gloucestershire with an Honours in Fine Art and a
further Distinction Masters Degree in Fine Art.
His notable achievements include a summer residence at The British School in Rome, awarded by
the University of Gloucestershire, he was also the co-founder and influencer of artist collective
O.W.N (Occupy Without Notice) who went on to have residencies at The Wilson Gallery,
Cheltenham and the SITE festival in Stroud both in 2019. Also in 2019 he was part of an artist
residence ‘Finding Forest’ in the Forest of Dean.
Richard’s current project is working with paint, charcoal and encaustics in an investigative
response to the work of author Shoshana Zuboff’s important book ‘The Age of Surveillance
Capitalism’. His paintings track the harvesting of our liberties by capital. The works are made with
material nuggets of information using the abstract to deflect the truth, each line an
impression or brush stroke a trace of the obfuscation of the true images, to use a quote often
used by the big tech companies when challenged on their transparency “nothing to hide, nothing
to see here.
