Richard Twose was born in Devon in 1963. He studied 3D Design at the University of Creative Arts, Farnham 1986 to 1989. After graduating he became a jewellery designer in London. For 13 years Richard sold his jewellery collections worldwide- during this period he was also a visiting lecturer at the University of Brighton and Camberwell Art College.

In 2000 Richard decided to step away from designing jewellery and moved from London to a village near Bath. Whilst teaching art and history of art at a sixth form college in Bristol he began to paint portraits.

Richard’s paintings have been exhibited at galleries throughout the UK since 2009. In 2014 Richard was awarded second prize at the BP Portrait Award in the National Portrait Gallery.  Richard spent time with Gifford’s Circus drawing circus performers during rehearsals, he went on to work closely with a group of acrobatic from CircoMedia, Bristol and observed and drew dancers during rehearsals for The Odyssey – Mark Bruce Contemporary Dance Company.

In 2017 Richard’s portrait of Ken Loach was selected for the BP Portrait Award and he was also commissioned by Oxford University to paint Ken Loach again. This portrait was exhibited in the Bodleian Library and will hang permanently in the Examinations Halls. Richard also exhibited at Catto Gallery, London – Solo Exhibition A Flicker In The Continuum and the catalogue introduction was written by Edward Lucie Smith.

Richard is currently Artist In Residence at Elisabeth Frink’s studio at Woolland House, Dorset.
