EN Richard Hearns was born in Beirut and raised in Dublin. Meditative layers are applied in a physical expression of form, drawn from the discipline of martial arts and the rhythmic nature of rural life. Behind the search for paradise through paint lie all the tender realities of life. Richard Hearns’ energy and enthusiasm define him as a person and fuel his insatiacle need to paint. His artwork will continue to evolve as life, art and experience shape his world.
FR Richard Hearns est né à Beyrouth et fut élevé à Dublin. Ses peintures reflètent sa recherche de l’idyllique. Porté par une profonde sensibilité, ses expériences et son attachement à des lieux et cultures différents se mêlent pour former une histoire triangulaire. Des couches méditatives sont apposées concrétisant ainsi l’impression de la forme à travers ses peintures. Tirées des arts martiaux et du rythme de la Nature. Derrière cette recherche de paradis l’artiste peint toutes les douces réalités de la vie. L’énergie et l’enthousiasme de Richard Hearns le définit personnellement et alimente son incessant besoin de peindre. Son œuvre continuera à évoluer, selon sa vie, son ressenti et ses expériences artistiques de l’artiste.
