ABOUT THE ARTWORK
A still life of a Victorian taxidermy trophy, hung on the wall of a local museum. The strong vertical of the blue door provide a graphic framing and a counterpoint to the organic form and beautiful patina of the dangling turtle. As with all taxidermy there is the odd sense of literal still life (or, perhaps more accurately, 'nature mort'), the pathos and absurdity attendant to this simulacrum of living.

Richard Allen
United Kingdom
Richard Allen's work uses gestural brush strokes and thickly applied oil paint; it is based on intense observation exploiting the tension between the directly recorded and the photographically reproduced. Whilst his work is determinedly representational there is often a conceptual element at play, employing framing and mediating devices, pictures within pictures. His work- landscape, still life and portraiture- is sensitive yet viscerally painterly, and strongly atmospheric. Richard Allen has worked to great acclaim as an illustrator in the UK and US, working with clients such as the New Yorker, the Folio Society and Random House. He has garnered numerous international awards including the V&A Illustrator of the Year 2017; In recent years Richard has returned to painting, winning the Sky Arts Landscape Artist of the Year 2016 and taking part in several solo and group exhibitions. Richard Allen's work is held in public and private collections internationally.
