Rain - Solo Exhibition at Dewsbury Museum

‘Rain’

Romantic and expressive spray painted artworks by Mirfield based artist, Richard Yeomans.

Works within this ongoing series were originally inspired by graphic novels, but are developing from stylised methods of storytelling into a more expressive analysis of the weather (especially in the later abstract paintings), and are continuously evolving, much like the weather itself.

Fascinated by rain and all the different forms it comes in; how it can change the mood and emotion of a situation and how it is used in all types of art for just that reason. Cinematography and photography play a big part in my creative process; inspiring everything, from the composition to the story of the piece; it’s not too difficult to imagine a musical score accompanying much of my work.
