Is a London-based artist who uses drawing to capture an essence of place. He draws every day, taking inspiration from his surroundings, and in doing so, has developed a fascinating, ever-changing canvas for our times. He is Vice Principal of London’s Art Academy and collaborates in the conceptual development of the artwork with his partner Aimie Littler.
He started selling his work at Camden Market at the age of 18 and worked there, on and off until he was offered his first solo exhibition in Melbourne, Australia in 2002, at the age of 25.
In 2003 after his second exhibition in Australia he returned to London to take up a residency at the Florence Trust Studios. This year long placement led him to another residency and a teaching post at London’s Art Academy where he has co-created a three year diploma course, sits on the Academic Board and is now Vice Principal. Rob is also a key note speaker at Central St Martin’s. Since 2007 he has taken on large scale commissions including redesigning the facade of the Old Highbury Station, designing the 80ft parapets of Thornhill Bridge in Kings Cross and painting the Chancel ceiling of St Luke’s church.
Recent exhibits include Liberty and London’s SW1 Gallery as well as a touring show in Texas. In 2011 he will be showing work at Lane Crawford in Hong Kong and Beijing.
