Richard Corbett

Monmouth based artist

Evocative oil paintings on canvas.

“I am fascinated by the glorious effects of the sun as it travels across the land and sea.

My oil paintings, in beautiful Old Holland paints on fine canvas, try to capture the play of light and the atmosphere it creates; evoking memories of time spent in landscapes or in more intimate spaces.”

Inspired by a letter from Sister Wendy Beckett, I decided to commit myself to art full time and moved to Monmouth, South Wales, in 2005 to set up a studio, drawn by the beautiful rolling hills and river valleys. I have exhibited widely, with solo exhibitions in London, France and Birmingham in the last two years. My work is represented by a number of prestigious galleries across the UK and in France.

Locally my work has been shown at the New Leaf Gallery, Monmouth; Applestore Gallery, Hereford; Albany Gallery, Cardiff; Twenty Twenty Gallery, Much Wenlock; St. George’s, Bristol; The Washington Gallery, Penarth; The Gallery at Bevere, Worcester; Brecon Theatre; Palace Art Fest, Hereford and the Ludlow Summer Exhibition.

As well as creating fine art and selling through a number of prestigious galleries and art agents locally and further afield, I lead printmaking and painting workshops locally and nationwide.
