About The Artist
Richard Hugh Blackford is one of the leading Jamaican Impressionist painters working today. He is widely known for his highly individual oil pieces inspired by his years living on the wonderful Caribbean island of Jamaica. His paintings come from a place that is not only very familiar to him, but representative of the type of diversity that only a place such as Jamaica has to offer. He visits the island on a regular basis – to constantly renew himself and to draw from this reservoir generous helpings of inspiration for his canvasses. In his work he always prefers to concentrate on a specific set of topics featuring the people and culture of the island in all its brilliance. The paintings that he produces therefore serves his discerning audience as reminders of their own times and experiences in this magical place of ebullient people.
Richard’s aim with his work is to convey the spirit of the Jamaican people and the magic of its environment. His technique is simple enough; applying layers and layers of paint on his canvasses using varieties of colour and texture which may at first seem loose and random but do in fact have a control and precision which continues to develop as the artist builds his years of experience.
Richard is virtually a completely self-taught artist having done some amount of classroom art during his high school years in the 1970s. After a number of years working in the cut-and-thrust of the Jamaican business environment, Richard took the decision to concentrate solely on his painting and hit the Jamaican Art scene with a solo exhibition of Cricket Paintings in 2005. Since then Richard has had some 20 solo exhibitions and the occasional group shows, usually attended by large numbers of collectors, quite often selling out within days of opening.
His work has been bought by collectors and buyers worldwide – Canada, the U.K., United States of America, the Cayman Islands, Antigua, Barbados as well as by a large and loyal following back in Jamaica.
