Richard’s mental cage
Richard, through his work, is looking for a peaceful and
quiet world, where the reality is only a dream of what it
could become in an ephemeral and better life.
All his subjects are marked with a thick black line, trying
to delimitate the inner white, the good consciousness
and knowledge deeply melted in each singular subject’s
true and hidden essence.
His pieces are immediately able to reach the spectator’s
heart, showing him a primitive and simple way of how
life would be without useless mental buildings. Or, could
it be better to say mental cage?
When I saw Richard’s paintings for the first time, I fell in
love. I was attracted to the serendipity and the joy that
was fighting to get out.
Smartly shining colours and acrylic stratifications showed
me the confidence of his works’ permeated coherence. It
became impossible not to buy the work immediately. A
wonderful piece, that still now, makes me feel happy. Of
all the works in my international collection, it is the work
I most prefer.
Soon after, my son and some friends discovered my
discovery. They subsequently went out and purchased
Richard Scotts of their own.
I am currently introducing Richard’s work to galleries in
Torino, Italy.
