Welcome to my world
"I used to think I had nothing valuable to say and no right to dream. A blinding flash has extinguished illuminated my work."
About www.richardbostock.com
Richard's passion for art
"Colour and light is of central in importance to my work. It is my hope that this universal language makes my work accessible and will prove a joyful catalyst for long term engagement. The matter of subject is where relevant a narrative for my paintings. I am inspired by Stanley Spencer, Paul Nash, Ivon Hitchens and Howard Hodgkin and as you might expect I am profoundly influenced by Van Gogh and Matisse and other wonderful artists of the school of Gustav Moreau."
Embedded in the landscape
We all have spaces that mean so much to us. I paint the landscape that I know and love. It's meaning to me is implicit to my work. We are all a part of the landscapes we inhabit and my paintings evoke the emotional connection I have with it.
Changing seasons
The sheer variety of our climate and our spectacular cloudscapes perhaps explains the British obsession with weather and explains our interest in something that is directly proportional to our mood and mood and wellbeing .
Sunrise
Completely captivating, the sunlight refracts and distorts light as it’s welcoming heat radiates through the cool morning air. Rapid changes in light are joyous as cool darker hues give way to the powerful intensity of colour and warmth. For all painters, retaining a clean palette and a refined harmony of colour is one of the great challenges of painting a sunrise. This painting conveys the impression of the effect that such a sunrise has and the joy a new day brings when the warmth and light flood into our lives.
