British Contemporary Artist: Barbara Richardson

Painting: Snail and Pots

Barbara Richardson has exhibited her contemporary paintings regularly at the National Portrait Gallery, Royal Academy of Art Summer Exhibitions, New English Art Club, Royal Society of Portrait Painters (Mall Galleries), Royal Institute of Painters in Oil, Royal Society of British Artists , Royal Watercolour Society, and the Singer & Friedlander / Sunday Times Art competition in 1997, 1998 and 2000.

Barbara Richardson paints charmingly detailed studies of everyday objects. Her use of light and shade and the skill with which she conveys a sense of texture in her work create small and perfect works of contemporary art.

In ‘Snail and Pots’ Richardson’s use of chiaroscuro lends a heightened realism and texture to her subjects. The pots, carefully placed and complementing each other appear tactile and three-dimensional. It is a very tightly controlled art work that finds freedom in the use of light and texture rather than through form or composition. The snail shell, which often appears in her paintings adds a sense of scale as well as humour.

In addition to Red Rag British Art Gallery Barbara Richardson has exhibited at other leading British Art Galleries. Each painting at Red Rag is sourced from the Barbara Richardson artist studio and like all Red Rag British art and Contemporary art it can be shipped worldwide.
