Richard Forster is a contemporary artist whose key concerns are involved with the haptic and social interpretation of place. Currently these investigations are prompted through drawing and sculpture.

In 2006 he was awarded a Jerwood Artists' Platform hosted by Cell Project Space in London. Since then, he has completed solo shows at MOT in London and Ingleby Gallery, Edinburgh. In 2008, he was shortlisted for the Northern Art Prize at Leeds Art Gallery.

He currently lives in his home town of Saltburn-by-the Sea and works from a studio in Stockton-on-Tees, in the north-east of England.
