Born in 1966 in Cheshire, United Kingdom, Richard Woods lives and works in London. Woods’ practice combines architectural interventions, home-improvement design strategies and industrialized forms of traditional craft work, notably block-printing and marquetry, to create immersive environments endowed with a Pop Art sensibility. He covers entire surfaces of gallery interiors or building facades with his unique brand of patterning that ranges from blown-up wood grain and fake company logos to 18th century wallpaper and Tudor cladding. Celebrating self-design and DIY makeovers, Woods equally restyles the most lavish of ornaments to the fixtures of improvised home decorations to cartoonish effect, highlighting the socio-political context of given sites in the process.
Recent solo exhibitions and special commissions include “Nieuwbouw”, Public Commission, Antwerp (2010), “Seoul Tudor”, Private Commission, Seoul (2010), “Port Sunlight”, Lever House Commission, Park Avenue, New York (2009), “Flat Pack Nature” at Galleria S.A.L.E.S., Rome (2009), “WRONGWOODS” at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London (2009), “The Nature Show” at Perry Rubenstein Gallery, New York (2009) and “Wall and Door and Roof”, Public Art Fund Commission, City Hall, New York (2009). His work has also been shown as part of “Darwin's Canopy” at the Natural History Museum, London (2008), the Liverpool Biennial (2008), “Air Guitar and Two Teaspoons” at Bischoff/Weiss, London (2007), as well as “Stopover” for the 50th the Venice Biennale (2003).
