Xavia Duke Richards

Xavia Duke Richards (b.1999) is the second artist of the Incubator 22 programme. Born in Jamaica and raised in London, Richards is currently in his final year of study at Camberwell College of Arts. Richards’ most recent series of impasto paintings examines notions of personal and societal freedom through thickly layered stirrups of paint, tarry, dried pigment, and sand - potent materials that often explode beyond the confines of the canvas.
