ABOUT RICHARD BERNER
Internationally revered pop artist best known for his unique and highly intricate pieces in medias such as ink, fine liner pen, and gouache paint. His work has been exhibited at locations such as The Old Bank Vault, Art Republic, Lilford Gallery in Kent, and the Roy's People Art Fair.
He began drawing as a young child in school, influenced by the cartoons of Disney. He attended college in Twickenham and art college in Wimbledon and London. Art school discouraged him from continuing his art after receiving heavy criticism from his teachers. He went on to spend a year travelling the world, throughout countries such as Kenya, Tanzania, China, Fiji, and Mexico before returning home and taking up drawing again.
His most famous pieces typically feature images that appear as one single item or figure, but upon closer investigation, are revealed to be made up of numerous tiny individual figures that he refers to as "champs."
He is originally from Brighton, United Kingdom.
He has accredited Salvador Dalí and MC Escher as his greatest inspirations.
