Robert Dunt

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.
