Simplicty and colour are key to Robert's paintings. The pleasure of these paintings comes from looking at them and enjoying the colours and the shapes and the way the colours meet. There is no need to explain these paintings in intense and wordy language - they are visual pleasures.
Robert's work has been exhibited in a large number of group and solo exhibitions including the The Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, the Singer and Friedlander/Sunday Times Watercolour Exhibition and The Empire in Vyner Street, Bethnal Green. He is inspired by many artists but particularly the simplicity and direct communication of Patrick Heron, Bryan Pearce, David Hockney, Roy Lichenstein and Matisse.
Robert graduated from City & Guilds of London Art School with first class honours where he has on occasion returned to teach and lecture.
These paintings are to be enjoyed by everybody - their simplicity and colour lets the viewer look afresh at the world and its colours.
