“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you...”
Roald Dahl
Artists have always been at the forefront of exploring and reflecting the culture and technologies of their time. Since the 1990s, the digital medium has advanced at extraordinary speed, moving from the early digital revolution into today’s era shaped by AI and algorithms.
UK based artist Richard Devonshire harnesses cutting edge digital tools to reinterpret the traditions of fine art photography, painting, sculpture, and drawing through a distinctly contemporary lens. His practice lies at the intersection of nature, science, and abstraction, with a particular focus on the hidden structures of the natural world and their deep relationship to mathematics.
Richard’s process involves constructing intricate 3D models and environments, employing virtual cameras and lighting systems that simulate real-world physics. The resulting images and animations carry the clarity and precision of photorealism, yet remain distinct from photography. They open up new aesthetic and conceptual possibilities, inviting viewers to look beyond surface appearances and engage with the unseen geometries and underlying patterns that shape our world.
