Richard Wurm was nominated as the 'Painter in Residence' for Echo in 2022. The founder and innovator of a unique painting model called, 'Crumbismus', Richard has captured audiences through an array of emotions, colours, and narratives through his works

​

The philosophy behind Crumbismus is, 'to create new life through absolute destruction' - meaning, that creation can only be birthed through eradicating, and erasing the past. 

​

Richard brings a much needed dimension to classical music - shaping the way our students think about their music, liberating their minds through his philosophy of art, and taking them on a journey of innovation and expedition.

​

In the season 2025/2026, Richard will be collaborating with Echo on a video production that depicts J.S.Bach's Partita No.2 in a series of paintings.
