NEW Richard Blunt
We are delighted to introduce Richards NEW Spring collections, "Eternal Icons" and "Serendipity"
Richard Says:- For as long as I can remember, I have looked for a way to combine the cinematic, emotive detail and intense use of light in my popular "Noir" collections, with the more expressive freedom of their counterpart study pieces.
This brand new, collaborative style is both timeless and elegant. The mesmerising combination of the two, lends itself perfectly to portraiture and of course my recognisable figurative work.
These new oil on linen originals are also the first to see oversized linen canvases beautifully painted in oils, and enhanced with 24 ct gold, platinum and rose gold leaf.
