Just In
Richard Adams
We are delighted to have received a body of new work by Richard Adams, whose paintings can be described as visionary, idiosyncratic, surreal and just plain hilarious. His humour and fertile imagination seem to know no bounds. Adams creates idylls and then adds quirky people that often float above the ground and seldom stand upright. His is a whimsical world of earthenware jugs full of cider, tractor rides, wild unabandoned partying and handstand competitions. He is a master of imagination, a champion of originality and a pastel artist of the highest calibre. He has an extraordinary ability to connect with the viewer and his saucy sense of humour never fails to provoke a broad smile.

Exhibition
Chris Sims 12 May - 25 May 2019
Chris Sims' meditative abstracts lead the viewer on an adventure. Combining colour, instinctive mark making and abstract values, this exhibition demonstrates the artist's emotional response to his natural environment, the rural and urban areas local to his studio in Buckinghamshire.
Chris will often make small thumbnail sketches as a starting point and then work them up to a larger scale in charcoal on board. He then applies layers of oil paint to build texture, often scratching some areas back to reveal a history beneath. Using this direct personal mark-making process he explores a composition in an intuitive and painterly way, making decisions as the painting develops to a resolution.
Painting illustrated: Occupied | oil on board | 61 x 76.5 cm
