His ‘architectural interventions’ involve him in resurfacing existing structures (houses, shops, galleries, interiors) in a vivid and exaggerated style (imitating wood or bricks or crazy paving). In part this is an absurdist response to the cult of home improvement and DIY aesthetics, but it also belongs to the legacy of Pop art with it cartoon-inspired graphic impact and bold simplicity. There are echoes too of Pop’s fascination with interiors.\r\n\r\nThe prints from the Remnant series imitate his printed plywood installation works which are also made by a woodcut process – involving giant plywood printing blocks carved with a router and printed using a garden roller rather than a printing press. These bold multi-coloured editioned prints replicate the bright clashing colours used in the installations. Woods has explained his choice of woodcut as follows: “The block printing method forces you into a simplification of the original image. The language I use is the language of advertising and graphic design. It’s the language of the street. I like using a cartoony palette of graphic simplicity.” These prints are, in the artist’s words, “remnants that look like they’ve been cut off or around previous installations”. Commenting on his vibrant colours, Woods has said: “My earliest remembered experience of the visual world was looking at the wallpaper and lino at home in Chester. The motifs were very rural but the colours in the early 1970s were all purple and oranges and crimsons. The artificiality of the colour against the imagery has stayed with me. My colours are abstracted and removed from reality.”\r\n\r\n","physicalDescription":"Colour print with pattern of multi-coloured floor-boards","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Woods, Richard","id":"A3051"},"association":{"text":"artist","id":"AAT25103"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"paper","id":"x30308"},{"text":"ink","id":"AAT15012"}],"techniques":[{"text":"woodcut","id":"AAT53296"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Colour woodcut on Bread and Butter 270gsm paper","categories":[{"text":"Interiors","id":"THES48933"},{"text":"Prints","id":"THES48903"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"PDP","id":"THES48595"},"images":["2016JG6201"],"imageResolution":"low","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"LVLC","id":"THES49171"},"free":"","case":"MB2G","shelf":"DR56","box":"MP323"}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"print","id":"AAT41273"}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"UK","id":"x29336"},"association":{"text":"printed and published","id":"x35383"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"2013","earliest":"2013-01-01","latest":"2013-12-31"},"association":{"text":"printed and published","id":"x35383"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"68.4","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"sheet","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"49.4","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"sheet","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"R.
