Self-Portrait With New Idea Forming – 2012

Richard Wallace

Come to Market; Roll up for Fairground attractions! See Apocalyptic Horsemen on Carnival mounts! Wander down avenues of naughty Pucks, seductive in the shrubbery… leaf through chapters of darkly dangerous Harlequins, Narcissi, Angel-winged lcarii, acrobats and Sorcerers!… Shield the eyes of innocents from the monstrous Minotaur, and maybe forego the spicy ‘Fish Dish’!

Richard Wallace’s beautifully composed, audaciously contorted figures are etched and chivvied into life on the canvas and imbued with feisty fun!… He has a mordant sense of humour, and the technique of conveying it brilliantly!
