Richard Adams's Profile

Auckland painter Richard Adams, born in London in 1957, describes himself as an abstract painter who "paints when I'm not playing the jazz violin" – pursuits that go hand in hand, he says – and "one sets the other on fire."
Drawing his inspiration from nature, colours, textures, shapes and surfaces, he later recalls these factors and "produces them with feeling on canvas."
As co-founder of the immensely popular jazz ensemble Nairobi Trio in 1989, Richard now divides his time between painting and touring nationally and internationally with the group.
