of Contemporary Art. As a featured artist at Red Rag Gallery in Bath, Richardson has become known for her ability to elevate the familiar—spoons, forks, and knives—into striking visual studies of reflection, form, and domestic symbolism.
Working in acrylic and oil, Richardson approaches cutlery with a sculptor’s eye. Her paintings explore the shifting light, warped reflections, and subtle distortions found on polished metal surfaces. This meticulous attention to detail has made her work a standout within the landscape of Contemporary British Art, attracting collectors who appreciate both technical precision and conceptual depth.
Richardson’s compositions often isolate a single utensil or arrange them in rhythmic, almost choreographed groupings. Her cool metallic tones, contrasted with expressive backgrounds, create a dynamic tension that has become a hallmark of her practice. The result is artwork that feels intimate yet bold—rooted in realism but alive with abstraction.
At the heart of Richardson’s work lies a fascination with domestic rituals and shared cultural experiences. By focusing on cutlery—objects present in every home—she taps into universal narratives of gathering, nourishment, and human connection. Her paintings resonate strongly with collectors of British Art who value craftsmanship and a fresh perspective on the overlooked.

Her work is regularly showcased alongside leading British artists, reinforcing the gallery’s reputation as a key destination for collectors and art enthusiasts.
Caroline Richardson’s paintings offer a moment of stillness and reflection in a fast‑moving world—an invitation to rediscover beauty in simplicity. Through her partnership with Red Rag Gallery in Bath, her work remains accessible to a growing audience of collectors who appreciate the clarity, wit, and craftsmanship that define her practice.
