Richard Porter

Richard Porter (b. 1988, UK) is an artist working across painting, sculpture, drawing, collage, moving image and performance. Engaging with literature, philosophy and esoteric ideas, his work seeks to explore the unknown, hidden reality of our world. With an emphasis on the material and the handmade, his multidisciplinary practice seeks to give form to what cannot be said through language, striving to configure a queer space that is open and free from conventional constrictions. His first solo exhibition, Night Glyph, was held at Amanda Wilkinson, London, in 2021. He has since participated in group exhibitions including Origin Story at Gordon Robichaux, New York (2023), Derek Jarman’s Modern Nature at John Hansard Gallery, Southampton (2022), and I Know Where I'm Going, Who Can I Be Now at The Modern Institute, Glasgow (2021). In addition to his art practice, he is the founder and editor of Pilot Press, an imprint publishing works of experimental poetry and prose.
