Richard Perry is a UK-based artist working across the mediums of sculpture, drawing, and painting. His practice juxtaposes measured geometric and organic freeform sculpture to create illusory forms that break free from an underlying rationale. His work requires a balance of intuitive judgment and premeditated design. He uses a direct carving approach, composing and ruthlessly editing as he goes along, thinking several steps ahead. Perry draws inspiration from the built environment and nature, including rock and tree formations, and from thinking about wider environmental concerns. He is particularly drawn to the geometries of architecture and structure found in post-industrial areas and edgelands.

This ongoing series of geometric and organic sculptures is primarily in Blue Irish Limestone. It’s an arresting stone that fits perfectly with his vocabulary of light and shadow.
