The High Seas Treaty enters into force today, the most significant global environmental agreement since the 2015 Paris Climate Accord. To mark the occasion, @greenpeace engaged indigenous peoples, activists, local communities and artists across 13 countries to craft Ocean inspired public art, @richtpaint was invited to create the UK contribution, which we coordinated in St Leonards, East Sussex.“The focus is a message in a bottle, an act of desperation and devotion; thrown into the sea in the hope of finding help before it’s too late. Here, the bottle has sunk and is filling with water. Often, news about the environment is paired with the language of “last chance”, in this case; that last chance is being held up by red tape.”This is about more than just the ocean, it’s about systems of power: what is protected, what is exploited, and what is ultimately sacrificed”You can read more about the campaign via the website, link in the bio all photo credits @photolauralewis Coordnated by @greenpeaceuk and @charlotte_pyatt Special thanks to @hannah_davey @gabrielpitcher Chris, Alena, Sebastian, Evie, Rob and Laura #GlobalOceanTreaty #ArtForTheOcean #OceanProtection #PeoplePower #MuralsForChange #ProtectTheOceans #StopDeepSeaMining by @richtpaint

Good Grief, Acrylic on Shaped Canvas 150cm x 100cm, 2022This piece is currently @urbannation_berlin in Berlin for "TALKING...& other Banana Skins", a group exhibition bringing together over 60 artistsGood Grief is an oxymoron and the first in a new series of paintings. Flowers do a lot of heavy lifting symbolically and have been a feature in my work for a long time.What is good grief? Does it exist? How is personal grief comparable to the collective grief that is the 24 hr news cycle. Don’t tie yourself in a knotGood Grief by @richtpaint

“Over We Go”New piece in Bristol to celebrate the opening of ‘The Dame’. Situated opposite Dame Emily Smithe Park….(The Deaner)A place that means a lot, to a lot of people in the city, myself included.In 2002 I turned up at the deaner with @45rpmwhat to paint. Over the course of the next few years we built our styles there and met so many friends. Plenty of people in the city cut their teeth painting the deaner….or lost their teeth skating it. @thedamebar @campusskateboardingThe Dame opens 24/08/23📸 - @tom_sparey by @richtpaint

I’m done talking to adults. I’m only talking to kids now. Original piece painted live for Open House @rocksoliddist at @shredenhams The following weekend @shabbadjs event, the kids helped me finish it. Huge thanks to @colourful_minds_kids and @ailishbeadle for facilitating the fun and encouraging everyone to get involved.The lines were there, whether anyone stayed within them was up to them. The wall grew and became something else. A new artwork, a confidence building exercise, a diary, a fun game and a space for grown ups to remember how to be kids.Excited to do more of these. For the last few years I have been working with @charlotte_pyatt to bring kids creativity to the forefront within projects. It’s always the right choice.

The latest @clubhousecurates intervention @shredenhams sees an immersive installation from @tomhaaam launching Bristol’s newest live music venue @thebackroomshredz “Falling up” is a paradoxical phrase describing unexpected success, rapid improvement, or positive outcomes arising from initial failures or setbacks. It’s the idea that you can feel lost or at a dead end, but eventually realising through that process you arrive somewhere better and more fulfilled. There lies community with strangers being in the same place for the same reasons. It binds us together. People connecting whilst in mid-surf, colliding whilst seeing each other and experiencing the same emotions without speaking a word.Tom Ham is a documentary and portrait photographer, with a focus on music culture.Clubhouse is curated by artist @richtpaint and supported by @campusskateboarding and @charlotte_pyatt Install by @helloblueprints - Inviting artists to intervene unexpectedly in the retired architecture of consumerism by @richtpaint

@keownphoto came to visit the studio. It can be a bit daunting when a photographer steps into your space, but it felt important for this moment. It doesn’t hurt that he’s an amazing photohgrapher and that I love his shots.Some spaces, cities, and situations unlock you, and this studio has been that for me. It’s given me room, literally and metaphorically, to expand, experiment, and look at problems as challenges not obstacles. Getting lost is part of the work, a sign that I’m pushing into new territory rather than circling the familiar. Understanding that my creativity isn’t just an aesthetic, but the things learnt and discovered whilst getting there. After a self-imposed break, colour is returning, and I’m excited to see where it leads.All photos by @keownphoto by @richtpaint
