theartistrobert is a member of the Beautiful Bizarre Artist Directory
theartistrobert is a Suffolk-based fine art oil painter best known for his ‘geo-figurative’ works and quirky still lifes. He is a selected artist for saatchiart’s TheOtherArtFair and a Shortlist Artist of the Year for the Visual Artists Association 2024.
Interested in the semiotics of the figure, his figurative works derive their meaning based on the model’s body language or expression and perceived cue whilst his still lifes are designed on word plays or moments designed to raise a thought or a smile.
He is a Member of the Visual Artists Association a global organisation he quotes as having had a huge impact on his attitude and approach towards his work giving him the confidence and support to move forward in sharing it with others. He was a panellist on their recent ‘2023 Artists’ Successes’ webinar.
With many works now sold including within the US, Europe and Asia Robert has recently moved to working full time at his practice. When he’s away from his easel he’s most likely to be found with his guitar, reading or travelling and always learning.
His figurative outlines express his desire to communicate the electric energy, often latent, within the human form and his use of ‘guard’ lines to protect the model is a personal stylistic choice. As such his work can be considered abstract expressionist. His latest series of works mix his master techniques and references, an avenue he is keen to continue exploring.
His charity work includes @aspacebetween.co.uk, a program to inspire creative pauses within hospital settings and @suddencardiacart, to promote heart care for women.
