Peter Richards - Modern Abstract Art

You may visit the studio by appointment to choose your work. There will be twenty plus trays of works divided into colour groups, so if you trying to match a colour scheme you may do so without spending time seeing all the works. Many clients in the past have come expecting to buy blue ones and happily left with another colour entirely so just enjoy the experience.

If you wish to commission a piece or a set of works for a particular site it would help me to make for you what you want by referring to present work. If, for example you wanted six pieces for your office, I would make ten in the colour area you have asked for, from which you would choose the six you liked best. If you wanted three for your living room I would make five or six. There is a non-returnable charge of £100 in advance for commissioned work, which would be part of the price for any works bought subsequently.

I have found that clients often like work another 'way round' from that which I had chosen for it so I do not sign the work until the client has bought it and made up their mind if it should be 'landscape or portrait.' Some works are titled but not all.

While you can chose whatever frame moulding you want to match the work itself or the space where you are to hang it I recommend that the work is mounted behind glass and that you should give it visual breathing space around it. A good frame will be more expensive but will make the work look far better and you will have it on your wall for a long time. Beware the cheap readymade frame which may have plastic instead of glass, may not be the right proportion to match the work and may not have a mount which will mean the work may stick to the glass or plastic if condensation gets into the frame.
