me Boss Painting

Whilst from first glance the works appear to be about monsters RichHARD is actually pursuing paintings about human emotions. The series explores the human psyche and the various inner monsters we may all face. This piece delves into the need to use technology. Each piece tells a story with hidden detail to interpret. RichHARD’s humour can be seen in the use of white lines that represent cocaine, a metaphor for addition and the pure need to carry out a human activity/desire. The works provoke questions from the viewer but leave out the answers whereby different viewers may glean something individual from the works. All the works contain an element of RichHARDs statement abstract circles, a self joke on the artists goals perhaps. The original painting also changes radically under ultraviolet light to release the MonSTAR and change the intensity of the works.
