Statement


My acrylic paintings focus on duality. Extreme use of perspective drawing creates feelings of movement and vertigo while a sensitive colour palette suggests a dreamlike idyll. The Moon acts as the light source, casting elongated shadows across uninhabited surfaces. The viewer spies on these desolate scenes from a partly obscured vantage point lending a feel of intrigue and discovery but also of being an interloper.


Biography


UK based artist, Richard Eveleigh, has exhibited work across the United Kingdom, Europe and 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, at South Kensington as part of "Art Below" and, most recently, at the Mall Galleries with the SGFA. Richard regularly exhibits work at Ad Lib Gallery in Wimbledon Village. In 2026, Richard became an Associate Member of The Society of Graphic Fine Art.


Shortly after graduating from the University of Portsmouth, Richard suffered a series of brain haemorrhages. His paintings are 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 paintings including cityscapes, seascapes and, the rural idyll of the English countryside.
