French Light
Richard's paintings are technically superb pictorial essays in light and shade; each capturing what he describes as ‘a dramatic alchemy’, the transformation of things and places when hit by sunlight or immersed in shadow. Although unpopulated his works are full of narrative and often an element of mystery. His eye seeks the quiet places left by humanity but there are no ghosts in these timeless corners of old France, instead Richard shows us a warm, inviting, sun dappled world of tranquility and beauty.
