FRIEND-SOLO-500
We are pleased to present a large collection of new and recent paintings by the popular British Artist

Richard Friend


Richard-120
Richard Friend paints and sketches an imaginary landscape inspired by memories and longings of a childhood spent in Kent, the ‘Garden of England’. His paintings are almost postcards from places that he’d like to visit........if they existed.

His understanding and appreciation of colour is confident, impressive and definitely appealing. He revels in these bold, vibrant colours and a powerful sense of the narrative of the countryside such as local history and folklore. Churches also appear in many of the paintings, references perhaps to the unseen powers surrounding us. This narrative quality often reveals it’s self only in the closing stages of the making of a painting.
