Richard Wathen

Richard Llewelyn Wathen is a British artist born in 1971.

Richard Wathen's pictures are eerily familiar. Recalling past masters from Cranach to Gainsborough, they adopt traditional techniques and subject matter. Yet, there's something distinctly wrong with the makeup. When he paints a pallid child holding a rabbit, the hair is grey, the dress too revealing and the hands much too old for the cherubic face. In other works, animals are posed in a misty landscape, a cross between the Disney film Bambi and an 18th-century landscape painting. Mysterious, ghostly and strangely emotive, Wathen's pictures are creepy, the kind that should be found in dusty attics of haunted houses where unspeakable events occurred.
