Richard Serridge
Richard Serridge is a landscape painter from the Wirral with a BA in Fine Art and a passion for nature and the local environment.
By using repurposed materials, Richard challenges the waste culture of everyday life, whilst selecting materials that reflect each specific scene.
Richard explores locations that are in his everyday surroundings, but usually go overlooked. He captures atmosphere and texture using high contrast colour, a variety of mark making techniques and allowing the unpredictable nature of his ground to influence structure.
Dealing with issues surrounding mental health is represented by the deliberate lack of human figures within the landscape, creating a sense of seclusion and beauty without interference.
With a keen interest in railways, gardening and general making, these themes are also visited within Richard’s painting practice.
