British multidisciplinary artist Richard Caldicott (b.1962) is renowned for his abstract compositions that encompass photography, painting, and drawing. In the 1990s, Caldicott gained international acclaim for his innovative photographic series featuring Tupperware products. These works transformed everyday kitchen items into vibrant abstract images, drawing comparisons to the colour field paintings of Mark Rothko and Barnett Newman. Throughout his career, Caldicott has continued to push the boundaries of his craft and has created a staggering range of experimental works, including unique Photograms, the Constructions series and most recently with Performance Pieces.
Beyond photography, Caldicott’s practice spans painting, drawing, inkjet printing, and photograms. His work is defined by a minimalist aesthetic, focusing on geometric forms and structured compositions. Since graduating from the The Royal College of Art in 1987, Richard Caldicott’s work has been acquired in several significant public and private collections, notably the Sir Elton John and David Furnish Collection, The David Kronn Collection, the Goss-Michael Foundation, and the Kunstmuseum Bonn. His work has been exhibited extensively in solo and group shows, as well as several art fairs, including Art Basel, Photo Miami, Paris Photo, FIAC and The AIPAD Photography Show. He lives and works in London.
