Richard Cartwright: These Days

About

An exhibition of forty new paintings and pastels. Richard Cartwright was born in 1951 and studied at Goldsmith's College School of Art. He shortly decided against formal training dissatisfied 'with the Twentieth Century obsession with art as a mere self-expression' and set out alone aspiring to an art that is spiritual, transcendent and mysterious. He has long believed that a picture requires a melody of colour, light and form evident in his landscapes, nocturnes, nudes and interiors. Working predominantly in pastel - an unusual medium for such large paintings - each piece is characterised by an intense feeling of colour and atmosphere radiating from the careful layering of the medium.
