Richard Blunt

Richard Blunt was born and raised in the West Midlands and always aspired to be creative. Following in his family’s footsteps, art was always an all-encompassing force in his teenage life. Despite career’s advice to the contrary, Richard was determined to pursue his creative talent and enrolled at Worcester College of Art. Here he studied three-dimensional design before embarking on a decade of artistic pursuit. This saw him play in several bands and culminated in a move to Cardiff in South Wales, where he completed a degree in Popular Music.

While studying music, Richard Blunt was again inspired to pick up his paintbrush and delve back into his long-lost passion. Instantly flooded with inspiration and a renewed sense of direction, he channelled his experiences into his art, creating pieces that reflected his own outlook on life. With each stroke, he found a renewed sense of purpose and an unwavering drive to succeed.

Predominantly an oil painter working within a traditional skillset, Richard’s figurative art frequently delves into themes of love, personal achievement, and aspiration. Richard takes pleasure in creating a narrative and while themes of travel, love, and material prosperity are present, Richard particularly enjoys portraying confidence, self-reliance, and achievement through his subject’s body language.

Richard Blunt signed with Wishbone Publishing in 2018 and is now a nationally appreciated and internationally collected painter. A firm fixture within the British art world for over half a decade, Blunt paints full time from his dedicated studio in his adopted hometown of Cardiff.
