Auction House is pleased to announce Passengers Through the Badlands, a solo exhibition by Kes Richardson.
The artist grew up near Launceston in east Cornwall and studied in Falmouth. Although regularly returning to visit friends and family he has now lived in London for longer than he did in the county. This gives a particular, removed perspective but also one imbued with nostalgia
of formative years crucial to experience and development, both personally and in relation to painting.
In the first solo presentation of his work in Cornwall Richardson displays three oversized paintings in acrylic on heavy PVC derived from small marker pen studies on paper. He sees the paintings as belligerent interlopers, gurning (self?) portraits of sorts whose hurried forms shift in and out of assemblage; transitory in time and space. A peaked cap adorns each head; a reoccurring motif that serves as a pictorial wayfinder and is a referent to the headwear welded to the artist’s skull as a young teenager.
