ABOUT
Ricky Joyce is an Abstract Expressionist Painter based in Leicester, England. Using music as an inspirational tool, Ricky creates bold and expressive paintings containing raw emotions, words and phrases and sometimes lyrics from songs. His paintings are very experimental and often blur the line between abstraction and reality as he documents moments of life like a visual diary.
Ricky's creates work using different mediums including acrylic and oil paint, graphite, spray paint and other mixed media. Tools such as brushes and palette knives are used to make marks and texture, at times even items like bubble wrap, wood and sandpaper.
The aim of my art practice is to enrich peoples lives, add a little spark of happiness and enable people to think differently about the world around them as this is how music and art makes me feel. I hope that my art inspires other people to create and enables them to find happiness too.
