Richard Dack ( B 1943 ) ‘Below deck Provident’ - Framed oil on board.

Seen here using lamp lighting to great effect with the focus on bringing the boat restoration to life……. Painting in the modernist style of rich colour and texture we have come to expect from the maritime artist.

British contemporary artist Richard Dack studied modern British art painting and printmaking at Camberwell School of Art. For many years Richard combined painting with a successful career teaching art in Cambridgeshire and later in Devon.

Pursuing maritime subjects has taken Richard Dack to many British coastal locations, but it is invariably the quality of light that provides the major focus in his contemporary paintings. Dack is a member of the Royal West of England Art Academy in Bristol, Avon and Royal Society of Marine Artists.

Dack's paintings have won many British art awards including: the Mariners Award for Modern Art and The Worshipful Company of Shipwrights Art Award at the Royal Society of Marine Artists exhibition in 1998 and again in 2005. His works are housed in museums and private collections both here and abroad.
