Artist Bio

Rob's work is distinctive and although over many years he has tackled many ideas there is a visual signature running through his considerable output. After moving North some years ago Rob's brand of abstraction encompassed landscape themes and symbols. His walks and adventures in high places in the UK and further afield often provided inspiration for his imagery. In recent years he has involved suggestions of the effects of climate change in his paintings and prints with a visual language based on an accumulation of observations, history, geography and a personally developed visual library of metaphors that crop up in the work from time to time.

River of Dreams was started just before his life long friend died unexpectedly and the work was adapted and took on a new shape and relevance relating to a memory of a shared experience with that artist friend. Technically the work includes some obsessive mark making characteristic of much of his work but in this piece those areas are balanced by more reflective and quiet passages which seem appropriate in this homage.

Selected Work

Name: River of Dreams

This painting was made at a time that a lifelong artist friend died. The imagery includes a river where the two shared many adventures and the suggestion of an old canoe that was renovated by the artists and launched successfully .
There is also the hint of another vessel that has disappeared under the water and is a metaphor for something or someone that has passed.
