Painter, construction artist, printmaker and teacher, born in Northampton, full name Geoffrey Keith Henry Richardson-Jones. In 1950s studied at Royal Academy Schools, then went on to teach from mid-1960s at Newport College of Art. He was a Midland Group Gallery Open Competition first prize winner in 1968. Group exhibitions included LG, AIA, Experiment in Form at Grosvenor Gallery, John Moores Exhibition in Liverpool and Third British International Print Biennale in Bradford. One-man shows include Lisson Gallery and a 25-year retrospective toured by Wrexham Library Arts Centre, 1996. Serious illness latterly blighted Richardson-Jones’s career, which he summarised as “a trajectory of liberation from mimetic representation, abstraction devoid of deep conviction, adoption of geometric form, a passing involvement with ‘op’ colour interaction and an ultimate settling for space/form relations, theoretically determined then systematically (rigorously) implemented.
