Richard Phoenix is an artist integrating painting, writing, music and facilitation. Making work that explores the rhythm, harmony and dissonance to be found in co-operation, support and art-making and the resulting balance between care and domination to be navigated.
Arriving at painting not through formal education but through many years playing in D.I.Y. bands and working within learning disability arts as creative support, these experiences profoundly influenced the way Richard approaches making and thinking about art.
