RICHARD THORN R.I. (1952-) Original fine Seascape Modern British Watercolour
Located in Cirencester, GB
Please note - we do not post with glass. Glass is removed carefully before packaging and sending. It's a simple process to slide a new piece in on arrival and saves the potential for the work to get damaged in the post.
ARTIST: Richard Thorn R.I.. SWAC (1952-) British
TITLE: "Forces Of Nature"
SIGNED: lower right
MEDIUM: watercolour on paper
SIZE: 72cm x 68cm inc frame
CONDITION: excellent
DETAIL: Born in Devon, the countryside continues to have an influence on his work, particularly coastal scenes, the moors, and rivers. Richard is an intuitive and spontaneous artist whose work retains the atmosphere of a deep love of the seasons and the locations.Since those early days his paintings have been sold and exhibited in many leading galleries throughout the UK, as well as America, Taiwan, and South Korea, and are held in many private collections. His work has been accepted at the Royal Institute’s (for painters in watercolour) open exhibitions, where he has won awards for best watercolour. He was also invited to participate in the Quingdao International Watercolour Exhibition 2019 where he won an excellent work award. Art Promoters in China exhibit his work and in 2020 he returned to demonstrate and exhibit. Light, texture, and distance are his principal concerns. These elements predominate his subject matter. There is a constant search for new techniques toward those goals. “...For me, painting is a continuum – an exploration. But watercolour is a medium that seems to be always one step ahead”
History:
1952 Born Torquay, Devon
1957 Started to paint during a hospital stay, aged 5
Continued to draw and paint throughout his childhood
Frequent family visits to Dartmoor and the Devon coast encouraged the pursuit
On leaving school attended Newton Abbot School of Art
Early influences centred around the French Impressionists, especially Cézanne, Monet, Pissarro & Gauguin
1971 Started Rock/blues/jazz career
Still plays in a Bossanova jazz quartet called “Ragged Fish”
1985 Returned to painting to establish a professional career working in watercolour
Added influences include Winslow Homer, Edward Hopper and Andrew Wyeth
1986 Princess Michael of Kent took a liking to one of Richard’s paintings exhibited at the Torbay Arts Society, with which she was presented
Exhibitions
1992 First solo show in Godalming
Many subsequent mixed and solo exhibitions at nearby locations including Fowey River
Gallery, Fowey; Triton Gallery, Torquay; Sharon Davies Gallery, Totnes;
Rosemoor Gallery, North Devon, and further field with the Bourne Gallery, Reigate: Panter & Hall, London and The Portuguese Embassy, London.
2008 Included in a book of contemporary Devon artists published by Hallsgrove

Painting is an art form that has spanned innumerable cultures, with artists using the medium to tell stories, explore and communicate ideas and express themselves. To bring abstract paintings, landscape paintings, still-life paintings and other original paintings into your home is to celebrate and share in the long tradition of this discipline.
When we look at paintings, particularly those that originated in the past, we learn about history, other cultures and countries of the world. Like every other work of art, paintings — whether they are contemporary creations or works that were made during the 19th century — can often help us clearly see and understand the world around us in a meaningful and interesting way.
Cave walls were the canvases for what were arguably the world’s first landscape paintings, which depict natural scenery through art. Portrait paintings and drawings, which, along with sculpture, were how someone’s appearance was recorded prior to the advent of photography, are at least as old as Ancient Egypt. In the Netherlands, landscapes were a major theme for painters as early as the 1500s. Later, artists in Greece, Rome and elsewhere created vast wall paintings to decorate stately homes, churches and tombs.
Today, creating a wall of art is a wonderful way to enhance your space, showcase beautiful pieces and tie an interior design together.
No matter your preference, whether you favor Post-Impressionist paintings, animal paintings, Surrealism, Pop art or another movement or specific period, arranging art on a blank wall allows you to evoke emotions in a room while also showing off your tastes and interests. A symmetrical wall arrangement may comprise a grid of four to six pieces or, for an odd number of works, a horizontal row. Asymmetrical arrangements, which may be small clusters of art or large, salon-style gallery walls, have a more collected and eclectic feel.
Download the 1stDibs app, which includes a handy “View on Wall” feature that allows you to see how a particular artwork will look on a particular wall, and read about how to arrange wall art. And if you’re searching for the perfect palette for your interior design project, what better place to turn than to the art world’s masters of color?
On 1stDibs, you’ll find an expansive collection of paintings and other fine art for your home or office. Browse abstract paintings, portrait paintings, paintings by emerging artists and more today.
