As well as being recognised internationally as an artist, Richard is equally recognised as the promoter of exhibitions and theatre events that have broken new ground in Britain and further beyond, to which the long list of his national and international awards and honours attests. His writing is as idiosyncratic and enthralling as his drawings, driven by true passion and belief, the personal account of an artist whose deeply rooted and abiding love for his native Scotland shines clearly in his words. RICHARD NOYCE Everyone’s pride in the Festival’s achievements is tangible and infectious. NICOLA BENEDETTI, Festival Director on the Edinburgh Festivals The Scottish artist Richard Demarco once said: ""The Scots think of it as their capital; they're too possessive, Edinburgh belongs to the world."" And following a recent visit to the Scottish capital, I can see what he means. MICHAEL MCCREADY, Belfast Telegraph
