Richard Devereux

Independent Visual Artist

ENCOUNTERS TAKE PRECEDENCE Visual art is rich in its ability to side-step the dystopia of intellectual noise. Its purpose is frequently lost in the brittle veneer of cerebral jousting. Unfettered by the distractions and interference of analytical self-gratification, it can remain pure and ineffable, fulfilling a very human need – that of stilling the mind.
