Richard Ennis (1958- ). Modern British.

I am pleased & delighted to announce that I am representing Richard Ennis, a very gifted & original talent in Modern British Contemporary art with an exceptional reputation. Richard Ennis has to date been a self-effacing & retiring Art Schoolmaster at a renowned English Public School. He has, however, an International reputation over the years & has achieved sold out exhibitions in Berlin & within the United Kingdom. His paintings have also been final choices featured in many competitions, for example, the Daily Mail ‘Not The Turner Prize’ in 2004 & a portrait of The Queen shortlisted for The Diamond Jubilee Queen’s Portrait Competition in 2012. He has an avid following & has sold many of his paintings to private collectors worldwide & one recently to an important British Institution for a substantial sum. My purpose is to further promote his works, drawings & paintings, to a wider public & when they are still accessible at very reasonable asking prices.

In a nutshell, the work of Richard Ennis encapsulates a fantastical world & comes across with immediate impact: surrealistic, expressionistic & with a great element of theatricality, the stuff of dreams, fears, hopes, desires, & imagination but, always, with an awareness of the absurdity of our existence. Just judge for yourselves & come away shocked, amused or bemused, but be drawn by the transforming power of his art to attest to one of the highest achievements of the human spirit.

Richard Ennis is also a painter of landscapes & portraits & is open to commissions. Please feel free to get in touch with me to make the necessary arrangements.
