An experimental artist interested in "the space" between drawing and painting.

"I like the sketch, the underpainting, the unfinished....... but complete"

​

Richard Newman graduated from Brighton University in 2002 with a BA(HONS) degree in Illustration. He now works as a painter from his studio on the outskirts of the city. He has exhibited in London, Hertfordshire Rutland and Brighton.

"Drawing has always been my strength so I like to keep a strong drawn element in some of my work. For me, this is where the energy lies. My goal is to capture and elevate that energy in my paintings"
