Richard Butler / hypochondraicatthegramercyparkhotel / Installation view
Richard Butler was born in Hampton Court, England. He studied painting at the Epsom School of Art and Design. Fifteen years ago, after a successful career as founder and singer/songwriter for the rock band The Psychedelic Furs, Richard returned to painting. He lives and works in New York.
"As a painter, I am most impressed with Richard Butler's near minimalist approach to paint application..."
"Ahatfulofrain: If you look closely, the title of this show is meant to read “A hat full of rain.” Richard Butler’s latest series of paintings are portraits of the artist’s family and friends."
"New York! Make sure you head over to Freight + Volume to check out a new collection of paintings entitled ahatfulofrain by Richard Butler. Yes, the same Richard Butler of the band Psychedelic Furs!"
"Richard Butler, masterful painter and lead singer of the Psychedelic Furs, has a sense of humor and thoughtfulness not normally associated with stardom."
