Richard Stipl is a Czech visual artist based in Prague.

In recent years, the interest in Stipl's work and its repercussions have been increasing. It was presented at art fairs such as Frieze Art Fair in London, Art Basel Miami, Armory in New York, Volta Art Fair, TIAF and ARCO Madrid among others. Today it is part of numerous private collections around the world, such as the Collette Collection, Robert Runtak Collection, SOLO Madrid Collection, Sherringa Museum for Realism, Hugo Voeten Art Center, etc.
