Richard Dawkes

In my early work I combined various styles from expressionism to pop art, with the intention that both abstract and figurative aspects should work together, and I had even began to refer myself as some sort of visual DJ. Over time, my work has become completely abstract but, although the styles blend together, they still retain elements of a broad array of genres. My paintings progress through a form of Automatism, while I think about colour, composition and the strive to gain the perfect aesthetic of everyday life, that finally completes a painting.
