About the Item

Craig y Don Pool, looking across the bay of Llandudno, Wales in the United Kingdom. Blue symmetry guides your eyes out to sea in this photograph by Richard Heeps. This artwork is a limited edition of 25 gloss photographic print from negative, dry-mounted to aluminium presented in a museum board white window mount and a choice of black or white box framed fitted with anti-reflective UV70% glass. It is signed and numbered on reverse accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. Handmade to order. This artwork is available in other sizes and it pairs well with Richard Heeps artworks in our 1stdibs store. "Richard Heeps' seductive, highly saturated colours and sophisticated pictorial structures demonstrate a true love and empathy for his subject matter - be it cool descriptive interiors, still life or landscape. His distinctive style pushes the limits of photography." He is a film-based photographer, using a range of vintage analogue cameras. He considers himself to have three studios, the external studio of whichever location he may be shooting, his darkroom where I make my master prints and his home studio where he does the postproduction where the artworks are mounted framed and finished. He aims to make accessible artwork without compromising on quality and making everything in house he is in control of each step to achieve that. Although he was brought up in East Anglia (England), he was heavily influenced by America. he visited American bases, kept magazine cuttings and followed drag racing. The speed, lifestyle and technicolour is reflected in his imagery. 'American' colour is a major aspect in his work, it drives his equipment and material choices. At age ten he began participating in art shows and became comfortable with showing his work and the praise and criticism which is part of an artists development. In his early paintings Manhattan was reoccurring theme, fascinated with New York. Throughout his professional career he has been lucky enough to exhibit in Museums and Public Galleries since the 1980's. Since 2008 his gallery Bleach Box, founded with Natasha Heidler, has taken part many in international art fairs. "It's been an amazing experience exhibiting in America, Asia and Europe. I love connecting with my audience and it lead to me creating many artworks whilst on my travels." He now primarily works from his home studio and darkroom in Cambridge. Creating new artworks, going out on location around the country and archiving his work which has lead to new releases of unseen negatives dating back over twenty years.
