Richard Forbes-Hamilton

Richard Forbes-Hamilton an interdisciplinary painter living and working in Sheffield. His practice often explores singular ideas/motifs repeated through what might be conventionally seen as divergent methods including painting, experimental animation, sound, photography and textiles. He articulates his work through a personal understanding of methods attributed to painting, such as intuitive working, quality of surface/material and understanding through making. Central and reoccurring themes include the nature of experience, transformative thresholds of spaces/perspectives, and the resonance of images.
