Richard Blunt | Figurative Artist | The Circle Gallery

Richard Blunt is a contemporary figurative artist whose work is rich in narrative, mood, and personal history. Born and raised in the West Midlands, creativity was always a powerful force in Richard’s life — yet early advice to follow a more “practical” path delayed his journey into art. After exploring design, music, and life’s harder lessons, he eventually returned to painting with a renewed sense of clarity and purpose.

Now based in Cardiff, Richard Blunt brings a storyteller’s eye to the canvas. His cinematic style and moody compositions often hint at untold stories — moments paused in time, filled with atmosphere and emotion. Drawing on his experiences in the music world and the winding road that led him back to art, Richard Blunt’s limited edition artworks feel thoughtful, soulful, and strikingly evocative.

Each piece reflects a sense of resilience and reinvention, capturing not just what is seen, but what is felt. Meticulously crafted and often hand-embellished with gold leaf, his artworks possess a refined elegance and subtle drama that collectors are drawn to. Richard Blunt’s work is available to collect through Circle Gallery, where his distinctive approach to modern figurative art continues to resonate with collectors seeking depth, craftsmanship, and storytelling.
