Hublot watches Artwork

Before establishing himself as one of the world’s most renowned pop artists, Richard enjoyed a successful career in the fashion industry, splitting his time between St. Tropez, Cannes and London. His extensive expertise in aesthetics and composition come to bear in his creative process - distinctive colourways, playful juxtapositions of character and background, and sophisticated design and visual trickery makes his work instantly recognisable. Richard uses an unusual array of tools and processes to create his mixed media digital to physical crossovers, and inject sparkle into his message, including painting and projection, resin, acrylic, oil and diamond dust. The magical, often dazzling, outcomes highlight the natural characteristics of his subjects, capturing their beauty, humour or charisma and rendering their image timeless through his unique interpretation. He sees his art as an opportunity to imitate, supplement, alter, or counteract the work of nature and to celebrate the glamorous and timeless side of society through the ages. Richard has been the subject of many solo shows at a wide range of prestigious events in his home country including the Monaco Yacht Show and the Cannes Film Festival where he exhibits regularly. He has also exhibited across Europe, notably with solo shows in many of London’s top art galleries. Having created more than 1,700 unique artworks in his career, Richard's art can now be found in the most sought-after collections around the world. He numbers several major stars amongst his collectors, including Kate Moss, Freddie Ljungberg, Trevor Horn and the late Karl Lagerfeld, to name a few.
