Craig Richardson

Artist from Stoke on Trent, England

Art for me is about catharsis, it is a reflection of my inner self

I like to paint things that question life itself ... the reality of what is around us and its inner fabric and makings.

I paint life and emotions that I see around me or I feel inside me.

Painting is the deepest expression of one's self as each piece contains a part of my inner being.

My main influences are Warhol, Van Gogh and Lowry ... however I want to communicate the turbulence and violence of JMW Turner and the pure beauty of Raphael both of which are inspirational.
