Richard Pikesley: solo exhibition in Dorset: The Jerram Gallery, Dorset

Richard Pikesley started his artistic career at the Harrow School of Art before going to study at the City of Canterbury College of Art in 1970. His art education valued both tradition and drawing, and instilled in him a love for landscape and the effects of light and weather. As a result, his paintings are fresh, immediate and compelling. When he paints, Richard aims to capture the ‘spirit of the place’, not just to extol its beauty. His work presents a lively painterly surface coupled with a fascinated love of the landscapes and scenes he depicts.
