Richard Eveleigh

UK-based artist, Richard Eveleigh, has exhibited work across the United Kingdom, Europe, and South America.
He held his first solo exhibition in Salisbury at the Oxfam Art Gallery and has supported many charities through
the sale of his work. In London, he has shown at the Truman Brewery, The Signal Gallery, and South Kensington
as part of "Art Below". Richard regularly exhibits work at the Ad Lib Gallery in Wimbledon Village. Shortly after
graduating from the University of Portsmouth in 2011, Richard suffered a series of brain hemorrhages. His work
is heavily influenced by this experience and his exploration of "duality" encapsulates this. While a traumatic
and disruptive experience it is also a driving and motivating force behind his art. Richard typically uses
picturesque scenes in his work including cityscapes, seascapes, and, the rural idyll of the English countryside.
Inspired by Futurism, he uses unusual vantage points to create a feel of movement. This is contrasted with the
sensitive colors of restful and organic moonlit skies.
