This Huge artwork by Richard Thompson Richard Thompson was born in Auckland in 1965 and graduated from Elam School of Fine Arts in 1990. He is equally well-known for his painting as for his sculpture.

In 2001, Thompson travelled to Antarctica as part of a Creative New Zealand initiative, a journey that strongly influenced his subsequent works, drawing his palettes down from multi-tonal colour to monochromatic simplicity.

Thompson has created several large-scale sculptures for private collections, notably the Albany District Court in Auckland and the foyer sculpture Three Standing for the Price Waterhouse Coopers tower in the Auckland CBD. His work is held in collections throughout New Zealand and Australia, including the Chartwell Collection at the Auckland Art Gallery, The Jenny Gibbs collection and the Wallace Art Trust collection.
