Artwork for Richard Gilbert
Details
How would you describe the work you do and why?
I am using this as an opportunity to show a group of recent small paintings based on buildings set in the landscape. These are drawn from travels around the United Kingdom. Each building strikes me as being unique in its setting and character, but perhaps they are all connected in the space of imagination; suggesting different lived experience and different social circumstances.
