Devonport artist Richard Coldicutt returned to NZ after an extensive academic career studying and lecturing across Australia. Following his return Richard has relinquished all teaching commitments to focus on his art production. Much of Richard's artistic career has been dedicated to exploring the representation of the body; some drawn and painted directly from life, others draw upon the history of art as a reference and index to contemporary conservatism. Richard’s practice includes drawing, painting, sculpture, print, writing and photography.

I enjoy supporting and promoting the arts both locally and internationally. Art Battle offers a great opportunity to inspire communities to value and embrace creative enterprises. I enjoy the challenges of working under pressure.
