Held at the prestigious Wentworth Club in Virginia Water, Surrey, this unique event showcased Richard’s iconic acrylic and impasto works, drawing art enthusiasts and collectors from around the world.
Richard Scott’s art: A rare opportunity

In addition to this he has exhibited alongside global legends like Banksy, Warhol, and Brainwash. This exhibition presented a rare chance to view and purchase original works.

A secure investment in Richard Scott art

With Richard now focusing on commissioned work and limited special projects, the availability of his original paintings is extremely limited. For art collectors, this event represented a unique chance to secure valuable pieces from a world-renowned artist.
