Using unexpected materials, he combines abstract structures and sculptural fragments to create a flat canvas. Developing his own visual language using materials like wood, leather, concrete, and lime, his works evoke an organic, yet abstract, reminiscent of life.

Richard Deacon is known as a sculptor, but he also produced numerous drawings. Drawings are not mere drawings for sculpture, but rather the foundation of artistic thought. While drawing and sculpture are closely connected, they exist as distinct artistic languages. His work not only represents the conceptual prerequisite for artistic practice, but also demonstrates the closest physical and mental connection to art, suggesting that the act of drawing itself is already part of art.
