Pauline Richards

The work of Pauline is just so joyful and depicts scenes in our everyday life which capture companionship, sense of adventure, fun and exuberance. There is an opportunity for the viewer to create several dialogues about her figures, one can believe that they are little mischievous, have secret conversations whilst on a bicycle or on a swing together but are also very loyal and caring. People from varying walks of life identify with her imaginative, whimsical and lyrical paintings.

Exuberance of life is a key them of Pauline’s work, she has the ability to capture special moments and her work captures the moments of many happy interactions. She is very confident about the interpretations of figures usually in action which combined with an evocative use of colour bring smiles to faces and positive energy. She enjoys pushing the boundaries between traditional and contemporary art. Her art practice is long established, she has a strong foundation in the basics of drawing and painting. This has allowed her to experiment further with a range of techniques and media. Pauline is a competent and skilled artist, who can work on a range of scales and sizes.

At the Strand Gallery, we hope that you enjoy the uniqueness of Pauline’s work, we assure you that it will be uplifting and you will imagine the conversations between her joyful figures, who definitely need to be watched as they experience the ‘Joie de vivre’
