The gardener under house arrest - Richard Heley

You can lockdown the gardener, put her under house arrest, restrict travel, deny work, lower wages, deplete civil liberties, put under fear, experiment on, but, you can't stop the gardener sowing the seeds of hope.

Awakening - Richard Heley

Tone drop out graphic of Khosi Mavimbela interlooped with my surreal style. A young child awakening to the delights and dangers of existence, He is carrying his dream-catcher and a kingfisher with the artist praying from the position of the wish fulfilled for his abundance and dreams come true.

It's gone viral - Richard Heley

Inspired by covid-19. House arrest has just set a different set of cicumstances, but why should I worry, I was born retired and will die working, studio is home and a joyous space to be in.

Landscape of longing - Richard Heley

Lockdown drawing - Richard Heley

I'd taped a sheet of paper to the wall intending to do some let go drawing in pencil. The paper size was too big for a table, the wall was very flat so it was a good, firm, fluid medium on which to draw during house arrest. Draing soon added wases of paint which in turn became more solid and concluded towards the painting end of drawing...still perfectly ok to roll up and pop in a tube...

Amazing love - Richard Heley

Painting, drawing, writing poetry and stories have been the loves of my life and a unique style has evolved. I've got a large number of paintings and drawings. I'd welcome contact from any gallery owner or agent that can offer me exhibitions or promote and sell my work worldwide. Work can be viewed in London, UK.

Where the bees go, we follow

Where the bees go, so do we pied pipers with lemmings following, leading ourselves into oblivion. Dragon flies like striped translucent winged angels mercilessly, voraciously slaughtering fruit flies. Butterflies unable to settle floating from flower to flower restless gigolos in time lapse moments gone, gone like a bank balance, like puffy dolphin shaped clouds that turn into one way streets and drive over themselves. I am the dotted line down the middle, the traffic light hands up enough is enough, the roundabout with no exit, a tight rope strung between conclusions by the seat of pant hanging round a universe eating itself and fertilising like worm casts.

Riverbank - Richard Heley

I work in the studio, painting and drawing from my imagination, which is a lovely place to wander and where it's a joy to watch my footsteps forming in the paint.
