Richard is a wonderful exponent of the post 1945 English romanticism with a rare ability to express that style across a range of mediums. His work shows great dexterity with a wonderful fusion of abstracting the landscape, cutting it into little blocks, and putting it together again.

Over his many years of painting, he has produced a wide spectrum of work which is demonstrated with the works on display in this exhibition.
