Description
According to Ray Richardson, this artwork is about the "idea that there's only certain ways to get ahead for 'ordinary' people. Boxing, football, showbiz or worse. Even the arts would appear increasingly difficult as we seem to be returning to times where like a hundred years ago you had to come from some comfortable background or privilege to pursue them as a choice." - Ray Richardson
Presentation
Born in 1964, Ray Richardson lives and works in Woolwich (S.E. London).
Ray Richardson paints everyday life scenes based from his own experience: his native area of South-East London, travel memories or personal concerns expressed through his emblematic double, an English Bull Terrier. Mixing humour, drama and social critic, his painting tells vignettes of life, from childhood to adulthood, which often echo to soul music.
Richardson shapes this material by combining “the traditional stuff of painting with the cinematic ways of looking at things": close-up, use of shadow and elongated horizontal formats. Nicknamed the “Martin Scorsese of figurative painting", his painted snapshots immortalise urban pantomime.
His sophisticated compositions refer to both pictorial tradition (Hogarth, Hopper British littoral landscapes, abstract expressionism) and contemporary cultures (American street photography, film noir movies, James Ellroy novels, mods subculture). His narrative painting depicts a whole social panorama with its own culture.
