We are delighted to present an Online Viewing Room featuring prints and paintings by Richard Woods that poke fun at the British cult of home ownership, renovation and DIY.
Richard Woods (b.1966) is well known for his architectural installations and re-surfacing of structures that propose an absurd twist on the cult of home improvement. His works are characterised by cartoon-like decorative surfaces, bold patterns and vibrant colours.
We revisit Woods’ first suite of prints published by the gallery in 2011, Woodblock Inlays and his most recent series Dream Homes, 2018, editions of which are housed in the permanent collection at the British Museum. These compositions are shown together with small framed paintings from a series entitled Hand Held Landscapes, 2018.
