FynArts Gallery

Atmospheric, introspective, and deeply expressive — Richard Hayes explores the space between realism and imagination through portraiture, surrealism, and gothic-inspired imagery. His works often carry a quiet emotional weight, inviting viewers into worlds that feel both familiar and dreamlike.
Inspired by artists such as Zdzisław Beksiński, Richard works primarily in pastel, acrylic, and oil, using texture and mood to create striking visual narratives. Alongside painting, photography remains an important part of his creative practice, influencing the cinematic quality found within his compositions.
Featured works in Hedgehogs in our Barefoot Way include Labourer and The Terroir — two pieces that reflect his fascination with character, atmosphere, and layered storytelling.

PC Janse van Rensburg paints with instinct, movement, and fearless expression.

An architect by profession and artist at heart, his work captures the fleeting nature of human experience — bold, energetic, and unapologetically alive. Each piece feels spontaneous, yet intentional, where portraiture, landscape, and imagination collide.

There’s a rawness in his work — a sense that anything can happen on the canvas.

Featured works: Tintin: The moment before a Pterodactyl ate Calvin and Hobbes, In Elon Schiele we Trust.
