Pure Art360 2021: Edition 2

RICHARD HEYS BA

Richard works in a light filled studio in Sussex, an acorn’s throw from the Ashdown Forest. He strives to create presence in painting, opening a soul space allowing the viewer to breath with the artwork. For him, an artwork must have countenance – a spiritual presence – so that the piece continues to live on in the mind of the viewer. Aiming for mystery in this world of the known, Richard creates standing before the unknown.

Working to remould inner spaces, he invites attention to and engagement with surface and image, outer colour journey and inner soul-space; saying “I invite you to open the painting as you would a doorway”.

Materials & Process

Richard’s practice demands a certain distance. To achieve this he utilises bespoke tools, brushes and squeegees. He loves with a passion the ethereal nature of colour and the physical qualities of paint, exploring textures, transparency and glazing to create diverse, vibrant surfaces.
