How can colour be explored in a contemporary fine art context? Robert's body of work, and in particular his “Dripping Distortion Form” paintings and 'Electricity' paintings, are the result of his examination of this question. He made explorations in a number of different directions as diverse research seemed the only way to explore fine art in a contemporary culture that moves seamlessly from art to television, to music, to film. This line of inquiry began when he started making musical metaphor paintings about the band The Jesus and Mary Chain. They wrote ‘pretty’ three chord Beach Boys like pop songs and then layered them with feedback, white noise and distortion. The paintings Robert made inspired by this had colourful hard edged cubist-like ‘pretty’ backgrounds that he first covered with resin and then with loose curved black and white “Distortion Forms” which stood as the musical metaphor for the white noise and feedback.

Robert Dunt is a London based artist known for his colourful abstract paintings and representational prints. He graduated from City & Guilds of London Art School (2004) with First Class honours. His abstract works are inspired by music, in particular The Jesus and Mary Chain, and feature his trademark black and white "Distortion Forms" which are a visual metaphor for noise and distortion. His prints begin from original drawings which are then combined with original photos or coloured with flat planes of colour. Many of the prints are inspired by Picasso's Vollard Suite and seek to make poetic comments about the process of reproducing what we see in the world as art. He has exhibited nationally and internationally. His Solo Shows include: The Distortion Form Paintings at LMP, London, (2017) Open House, London (2017) - Madonnas and Housemasters, Charterhouse School (2015), Break on Through, Waterloo Gallery (2004) and I Wanna Trip You Up, Covent Garden (2004). Selected group exhibitions include Alien Beauty, Vyner Street; Fun House, The Empire Bethnal Green; ArtTop10 Presents… , The Menier Gallery; Print Jam 2014, Art Bermondsey; Type 36, The Type Museum; Circus, The Empire Bethnal Green. He has been selected for the ING Discerning Eye, the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, NEAC, and the Singer & Friedlander/Sunday Times Watercolour Competition. He featured in a TV advert for TD Trading airing on Sky News. His work is held in numerous private collections. He is the Founder of the art review website and YouTube channel ArtTop10.com.
