RICH STEVENS

Painter, printmaker and draughtsman, born in Melbourne, Australia, son of the renowned painter Arthur Boyd.

He moved to London with his family in 1959, starting to paint full-time in 1965.

In 1968 went to the Michael Karolyi Foundation in south of France on a painting award. Boyd was given technical instruction by his father and attended Central School for two weeks in 1969 on a diploma course, but was essentially self-taught.
Key influences were Turner, the Impressionists and Bonnard.

Although he went with his wife and children to live in New South Wales in 1978 Boyd remained based in London, returning to Australia every few years to paint the landscape.

He had many solo exhibitions commencing with Bonython Galleries, Adelaide in 1966,  Later shows including Palazzo Strozzi, Florence, 1989, Boundary Gallery, 1990, and Chappel Galleries, 2005.

The youngest son of the Australian artist Jamie Boyd, Nathaniel belongs to the distinguished Boyd artistic dynasty that began in 1886.

Nathaniel enjoys an international reputation as a cellist performing at the world’s most prestigious venues. He draws artistic inspiration from the cityscapes and landscapes he encounters during his travels around the world.

As well as a strong affinity for landscape, Nathaniel works from his studio in Buckinghamshire in a wide range of mediums, including sculpture in bronze and stone.

Nathaniel has sold work via private sales and through galleries in Australia including the Redhill Gallery, Brisbane and the Eva Breuer Gallery in Melbourne.

Nathaniel is currently showing at the Green and Stone Summer Exhibition in Chelsea, London and at Gallery
on the Sturt in Ballarat, Australia.

Painting and sculpture for me share a great deal with performance. Sitting in a field painting the sky and distant hills, or sitting in the studio with a lump of clay, I endeavour to clear the mind and allow the work to happen; to be guided by an invisible force.
