‘The Studio Chair was a chair we made in the studio, to be used in the studio. Sometimes its used when we’re working at the computer / sometimes its used when we’re having a beer on the stoop / sometimes its used as a table for teacups / and sometimes its used as a sawhorse for cutting wood. It’s been on the studio for four years, it gets dragged around, it’s a jack of all trades. I hope you like it.’ Richard Woods
Artist Richard Woods is a graduate of The Slade School of Fine Art. His well-documented work crosses boundaries between art, architecture and design and is most often made up of exaggerated, garish representations of traditional British architectural and interior motifs like wooden flooring, chintz wallpapers, crazy paving or red bricks. These ‘logos of reality’ are created using traditional woodblock techniques and then applied to walls as a second skin covering interior floors, walls and recently an entire residential building in upstate New York. In these instances, Woods’s art expresses an extreme version of Englishness by taking over a space and saturating it with iconography. Woods continues to win prestigious commissions and exhibits around the world.
