About Richard Shipley
Richard Shipley hails originally from York (North Yorkshire), where he began painting in the 1980s as a graffiti artist. Under the pseudonym CageOne, and now living in the South West of England, Richard's artwork is continually evolving and has been stripped back into a pure abstract aesthetic, while keeping its roots in graffiti art, and features in private collections and art exhibitions across the globe.
Richard's work is produced using traditional methods, i.e. paints on canvas and paper, and, more recently, digital formats such as Procreate and Photoshop. The work is heavily influenced by the urban environment in which he lives, creating compositions based on the architecture of his home town of Bristol (UK). He often takes a street scene and re-imagines it by painting what he sees from different angles, from above, and by creating transparent objects that fit together to form an interesting composition. His work blends both organic and geometric forms; he is always trying to find the perfect balance. Richard's work is available as original paintings, limited edition prints, and now his digital works can be collected as NFTs (crypto art).
