Richard Woods constructs a wintery micro climate for his archetypal home.

Woods is drawn to the motif of the house, representing security and the human desire to build and make. Stemming from his time working as a builder and carpenter before becoming an artist, Woods reduces architecture down to the very basics. His original series of holiday home installations were stylistically built as if drawn by a child, rendered in block colour.

Re-imagined in miniature as a snow globe, the edition is designed to be tilted and shaken, building upon the ‘hands on’ interaction that is integral to Wood’s artworks. In the yellow edition, snow cascades around a yellow facade and inviting pink door.

“I think of the snow globe as a device for miniaturising or reducing an architectural scene. To reduce or miniaturise an object that is already reductive creates an interesting narrative .”

Richard Woods2 collaborationsRichard Woods uses installations in cartoon colours to satirise the housing crisis. Leaning on his previous career as a builder, the artist transforms everyday surfaces into playful and exaggerated cartoon versions. This process involves overlapping objects with statement, painted-on textures. Much of this is done through woodblock printing, using household gloss paint and 3mm MDF boards. He has likened his bright palette to the plastic-like colours of his parents' garish 1970s decor. Often executed on his studio floor, he creates graphic textures such as bricks, stones and wood grain. Despite being known for architectural installations, Woods views his work “in terms of surfaces” rather than sculpting.

Great experience all around, thank you! I love what you do and the fact that it allows me to own artist works whose originals I wouldn't be able to afford.
