ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This is one of Robert Dunt's "Distortion Form" paintings. These paintings are inspired by music, and in particular the band the Jesus and Mary Chain. Robert was influenced by paintings that explored colour such as the works by the artist Partick Heron who worked prominently in the 1970s. But he did not just want to recreate these paintings and so began looking at a way of using colour in a more contemporary context. The Jesus and Mary Chain wrote pretty "Beach Boys" like pop songs but then covered them with noise and distortion and feedback. In a similar fashion Robert painted pretty "Patrick Heron" like paintings and then covered them with black and white "Distortion Forms", a visual metaphor for the noise and distortion used by the Jesus and Mary Chain. Though inspired by music these paintings are firmly rooted in the visual, and work on making original colour combinations. The paintings also reference the act of seeing, the freneticism of some sections of the paintings referencing visual experiences such as looking at, and through, the branches of tress as they shake in the wind. Like all Robert's paintings the aim is to give the viewer greater visual pleasure of the the world and the colours they see in it. The title 'Winter Snow Distortion' refers to the cool colours and black and white Distortion Forms in the painting that can give the atmosphere of seeing snow fall on autumn and winter leaves.

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).
