Richard Burton work occupies a midpoint, connecting us, our real selves, with ourselves as imagined characters in situations out of the scope of our full comprehension. In his works, lone figures stare out of the back of the canvas into spaces the viewer cannot see. The surroundings are uncanny in their unspecific location yet sense of familiarity. His paintings centre the unremarkable, emphasising and honouring he quieter details of daily life.
