A Place I Know

A Place I Know

A Place I Know holds a quiet sense of somewhere familiar.

Green moves through the surface — soft, but firm and alive.

Hints of garden, of open ground, of something from earlier on.
Not fixed. Just there.

A calm sits underneath it all.
Light. Space. Air.

Acrylic, oil stick, soft pastel and pumice on premium canvas, finished with a light satin varnish.

This work will be supplied rolled in a protective tube.

Shannon Riches is an abstract expressionist artist based on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula. With a 30-year background in graphic design and illustration, his work now centres on intuitive mark-making and tonal exploration inspired by the coastline and the Dandenong Ranges.
His process is tactile and instinctive — often painting with his hands, bark and found natural materials alongside traditional brushes to build layered, organic surfaces. Shannon also produces music under the name Approaching Black, and sees both practices as expressions of the same language — composition, tone and atmosphere.
His paintings are created to feel lived-in and emotionally grounded — artworks that belong in real spaces, quietly shaping the story of the room.
