NOIR
Many of Richard's most popular paintings in recent years have been part of the artists "Noir" collections.
Inspired initially by neoclassical and renaissance artists, he is fascinated by the portrayal and depiction of light. Employing classical methods like chiaroscuro, which evolves stark contrast between light and dark to create depth.
The characters depicted in these collections frequently embark on a journey. Richard takes pleasure in creating narrative led story telling and symbolism within his work. He perceives it as an enhancement of their narrative and the visual experience of the artwork. While themes of travel, love, and material prosperity are present, Richard particularly enjoys portraying confidence, self-reliance, and achievement through his depiction of these characters.
