RJ LEARMOUTH

Studying Fine Art in South East England in the late 00s, I developed an eager focus on site-specific installation and contemporary sculpture, taking on an abstract and non-conformist stance to creating and processing.

Since graduating, I have pursued an interest in surrealist pen & ink drawing; frequently depicting psych-inspired dreamscapes, and abstract natural and constructed realities.

More recently I have developed an appreciation for analogue photographic processes and have found a deep love for the juxtaposition of nature’s fragile existence and the harsh dystopian world of human abandonment .

I released my first poetry book ‘Meretricious’ back in 2024 and am in the process of finishing of my second which I want to release this year.
