INTRODUCING RICHARD CROSBIE ART
- Real art created by a human...
Hello and welcome to my web page. My name is Richard Marc Crosbie and I'm originally from South Wales, U.K. I've been living in Hong Kong since 1996 working as a professional product designer in the toy industry. That all changed with the pandemic when I suddenly found the need & desire to reinvent myself as an artist with a focus on Hong Kong scenes & subjects.
Moving away from computer-based design work, I've immersed myself in various traditional hand-drawn media such as watercolour, pens, inks, acrylic, and pastels. I practice both location-based ’en Plein air’ painting & urban sketching as well as longer studio works and find endless inspiration from the intensity of life in the territory. As mentioned, I practice 'real' art, with everything I create made by my own hands, not via computer programs or AI.
I feel like I have been asleep for several years and have suddenly awakened to see, feel smell, and truly appreciate my surroundings for the first time. I love living in Hong Kong and everything about it. I enjoy seeing the vast vistas and the tiny details that make Hong Kong unique, from cityscapes and harbor views, bustling markets, and street scenes to observing reflections in puddles and slowing drying paint on fire hydrants, I love it all.
I've been told that my style is quite distinctive even though it is still evolving. The words 'perspective' and 'detailed' come up a lot. I suppose that may be from my design background. My art has taught me to open my senses to my surroundings and channel my observations. The more I look, the more there is to see.
My artwork is available for sale, either as a high-quality art print in various sizes or as per the original if available. Please feel free to contact me to discuss further. Commission work is also considered.
