About Richard Heys

 
 
  • Biography
    I am an abstract artist & work from a studio in the Sussex countryside in England. My paintings are colour-driven and I strive to create paintings with presence. I paint using print-making tools, brushes and bespoke squeegees. I aim to create the painting as a doorway. I think that if I'm worth my salt as a painter I can create a little miracle, a moment of innocence and ecstasy on a daily basis. And occasionally I manage to do this! I silence my thinking mind and become a channel. In flow, things come into presence in my work. I do not illustrate or realise ideas, the work is its own revealing and holds a mystery for me. As Seamus Heaney writes, we go to art to be ‘forwarded within ourselves’. This casting myself forward enables me to bring a spaciousness and a sense of the numinous into my work.
