Hello and welcome to my site. My name is Richard Graham, I am an artist sculptor, and creature assembler working from my studio at Thames Side Studios, in Greenwich, London.
My artwork broadly explores anthropomorphism in objects and materials, looking for character in the inanimate, creating contrasts between the real and the imagined.
My most recent project is titled ‘Junkbirds’, this body of work uses found objects to make birds forms, that take flight from their original purpose only to crash back down into their original meanings, building a sense of the cyclical in both art and nature.
Last year i received a grant from the British Arts Council, and was able to animate the birds into a story. Here is the story below.
Some of my other illustrative work can also be viewed in the title pages above, such as ‘The Cranky Caterpillar’ storybook published by Thames and Hudson. You can also see some of the production sculpture and props i make for others at www.make-it.london
