"People will come to love their oppression, to adore the technologies that undo their

capacities to think."

Aldous Huxley

Artists have long been among the first to explore and reflect on the culture and technologies of their time. Since the 1990s, the digital medium has evolved at extraordinary speed moving from the early digital revolution into today’s AI and algorithm driven era.

UK-based artist Richard Devonshire uses cutting-edge digital tools to reinterpret traditional forms of fine art photography, painting, sculpture, and drawing through a contemporary lens. His practice centres on the intersection of nature, science, and abstraction, with a particular focus on the hidden structures of the natural world and their relationship to mathematics.

Richard’s creative process involves building complex, textured 3D models and environments using virtual cameras and lighting systems that simulate real-world physics. The resulting images and animations evoke photorealism while simultaneously distancing themselves from photography, offering  clarity and precision that suggest new aesthetic and conceptual possibilities. His work invites viewers to see beyond surface appearances to engage with the unseen geometries and underlying patterns that shape the world around us.
