About The Artwork

How does it feel full of dreams tonight Sea sounding silently flashing of lights Shadows that creep 'cross emotional mind The wall is complete; there is no door to find What is the motive for thinking like this Lost in illusion embracing deep twist Running around in conflicting cartwheels Has your future just passed trying to look like its real? What is the reason for being and why Do we hurt ourselves under the skies as they cry So I love her, or want her or dance with her mind Do I chase an illusion thats eating my time? See by the moonlight souls on the run Down to the caves where the farming began Primitive masons and artists in stone Ten million pebbles and each is alone. You run thru' my mind like a waterfall poem There's a river of words running over your bones Your colours enchant me as feelings run wild And float away on a cloud made of lovers smiles.

Richard Heley is a Painter, live performace painter, interactive painting with children, International performance poet and storyteller. Wild surrealist, philosophical dreamer, beautiful colourist, wacky storyteller with universal poetry. Nicholas Usherwood, Art Critic, writes of Richard : "Performance painting, poetry slam champion, interactive art with young children - such activities are not the normal profile of a committed and intensely serious-minded and hugely prolific artist but then Richard Heley's whole creative career has not followed any remotely conventional pattern. Born in Bedfordshire in 1950, he emigrated, aged 15, with his whole family, to Australia. It was a liberating decade spent there during which he quickly and, for the first time, became aware of the strength of his creative instincts and though he would have loved to go on to art school, family economics dictated a teacher training course at the Melbourne College of Education. In the strongly egalitarian society that Australia then was, this was no advantage however, such institutions being powerhouses for social and cultural change and Richard Heley found himself among some remarkably gifted and passionate teachers, most particularly in the sculpture class. Though this was not to prove his particular artistic direction, one senses, from the way he talks about this period of his life, that it was the attitude of this particular teacher, which has stayed with him ever since. But, not long after finishing there, a nostalgia for home and the fate of his village football team (of which he and an 80 year old man had been virtually the sole supporters!) drew him back to England where, painting and performing furiously, he has been based ever since. As might be expected from all of this, the painting that has emerged, particularly over the last ten years or so as he has slowly started to focus on his own rather than his more collaborative artistic activities, reflects this extreme unconventionality.
