Based in Cape Town, South Africa, Richards work is colorful and figurative mostly portraying female semi-nudes in a variety of playful stances, apart from his other firm favorites such as trees and animals. These images are applied in thick, monochrome colour on large surfaces, couched in prominent black outlines. The works exude a quality which is rather difficult to pinpoint: they contain elements of the cartoon, while also incorporating features of naïve art.
