English

Acrylic on canvas, painted by R. A. Webb at the Royal College of Art in London in 1988.  Signed and framed. 61 cm. wide by 61 cm high.

The first two of these three paintings were bought in late May 1988 from the artist at his degree show at the Royal College of Art in London. ‘Night Shift’ was bought in November of the same year from the Oxford Gallery, 21, High Street ,Oxford.  Richard Webb was born in 1963 and attended the Camberwell School of Art and Craft from 1982 to1985 where he gained his BA degree.  He then went on to study for his Master’s degree at the Royal College, which he obtained in 1988. For a while after buying these pictures, we remained in touch with him and he came to stay with us at the seaside in Essex in 1990, where, he subsequently told us, the sea and the sand gave him the inspiration for one of his later works – ‘Triple Echo’ depicting three seagulls and a little girl on an expanse of beach.  He regularly exhibits in London, particularly at the Cadogan Contemporary Gallery in Chelsea.

Las dos primeras de estas tres pinturas se compraron a fines de mayo de 1988 directamente al artista, en su exposición en el Royal College of Art de Londres. "Turno de noche" se compró en noviembre del mismo año en la Oxford Gallery, en High Street nº 21, Oxford.  

Richard Webb nació en 1963 y asistió a la Escuela de Arte y Artesanía de Camberwell desde 1982 hasta 1985, donde obtuvo su licenciatura. Luego pasó a estudiar su maestría en el Royal College, que obtuvo en 1988. Después de comprar estas obras, mantuvimos contacto con él durante un tiempo, y vino a pasar una temporada con nosotros en la costa de Essex en 1990, donde, más tarde, nos dijo que el mar y la arena le inspiraron para una de sus obras posteriores, “Triple Eco”, que representa a tres gaviotas y a una niña pequeña en una extensión de playa.  

Expone regularmente en Londres, particularmente en la Galería Contemporánea Cadogan, en Chelsea.
