Biography
Richard Heys – creator of paintings with presence and colour driven
Richard is a non-figurative painter based in a light-filled studio in Sussex, an acorn’s throw from the Ashdown Forest. He paints using print-making tools, brushes and bespoke squeegees. He works to re-mould inner spaces, to invite attention to and engagement with surface and depth, with what is hidden and what is revealed.
In his work Richard is not aiming to illustrate or realise ideas, the work is its own revealing and holds a mystery for him. As Seamus Heaney wrote, we go to art to be ‘forwarded within ourselves’. This casting of himself forward enables Richard to bring a spaciousness and, at times, a sense of the numinous into his work.
