“The narrative series comes naturally to me. I think in sequences, this leads to that, and in this way, I consider myself a storyteller. I hope viewers see parts of themselves in my work, reflecting on a moment of their own experience or behavior.”

Richard Galloway’s work invites viewers into a realm where beauty and darkness coexist in quiet tension. Through his carefully carved, handprinted linocuts, he explores figurative themes of nature, family, and the shadows within storytelling.

Characters in his work bring humor, melancholy, empathy, or moral depth to each scene, while the narrative often unfolds across a series of pieces, allowing the story to evolve and expand. His work blends realism with a sense of timelessness, capturing moments that feel both distant and familiar, revealing the hidden depths of human experience.

Galloway prints his linocuts on Japanese paper, a process that has taken years to perfect. Each print is made by hand, making every piece unique. This approach gives each work its own character and texture.

After moving from London to Sweden, Galloway built Timberhousepress, a studio where all work is created, printed, framed, and displayed. The studio also provides space for exhibitions and continued development of his artistic practice.

“My studio, Timberhousepress stands in the forests of Dalarna, Sweden. A world apart from my former life in London. I built this space to shape every stage of my artistic process, carving, printing, and framing ensuring the artist’s hand is always present."
