| RICHARD PIKESLEY R.W.S., N.E.A.C. |
Richard Pikesley will be exhibiting new work 29th October - 13th November, 2010
Born in 1951, he started his artistic career at the Harrow School of Art before going to study at the City of Canterbury College of Art in 1970 for three years. Within a year of leaving, he was elected to the New English Art Club. Richard’s art education valued both tradition and drawing, and instilled in him a love for landscape and the effects of light and weather. When he paints, Richard aims to capture the ‘spirit of the place’, not just to extol its beauty.
Richard believes that what he is doing is part of an on-going tradition that has its roots in the paintings of Constable and a belief that painting from nature, with a full painterly touch was something not just to be prized, but also nurtured. The winner of several awards his paintings can be found in many private collections including St. John’s College, Cambridge, Longleat House and the Crown Estates.
