Dance Emotion – Richard Young – Hand embelished print

Description

Dance Emotion – Richard Young. Hand embellished mounted limited edition print, image size 60  x 42cm. Biography: I am a self-taught, full time professional Artist, born in Yorkshire, in 1961, and now based in Wokingham, Berkshire, UK where I have my office and studio. Though I have always had a flair for art, I graduated in engineering in 1983 and with a passion to travel, I initially pursued a career as an engineering and design consultant, holding various managerial roles with international design consulting companies, residing primarily in the Middle East. Nevertheless, an artisan at heart, I returned to Commercial Art in 2003, initially as a semi-professional artist and have extensively developed my own personal style and technique. I create all oil paintings entirely using a knife, often in a limited colour palette and mixing only on the canvas. The style of my artwork is modern, yet classical / traditional and occasionally contemporary. The compositions are influenced and inspired by the realism and romanticism of my favourite post renaissance classical Masters and their timeless, romantic masterpieces. My artwork compositions mostly entail dramatic lighting and shading, in a high contrast. I simply adore light and am fascinated with its arguably undue influence on any subject.Predominantly figurative, I aim to capture a carefully composed aloof anonymity, mood, atmosphere, drama, passion and emotion of the performance in a frozen realism, rather than characteristic individual representation of the performers themselves. I’ve done quite a few commissions and would consider any reasonable request on a case by case basis.

I can also produce my paintings at 30” x 20” or 30” x 22”, depending upon the aspect ratio of the original. They are a limited edition of 50 and almost all of my artwork is available in this format

I also produce signed open edition artist’s prints on 350gsm canvas or 310gsm archival cotton rag art paper. Please phone Jan at the gallery for more information 01256 701082

I also conduct art event classes, I started doing these as I love teaching and giving presentations!
