Biography

Robert Dunt painter

Location: London, United Kingdom
Style: Abstract / Figurative

I am an artist who is inspired by colour, music and cubism and who moves between producing abstract and figurative paintings. I graduated from City & Guilds of London Art School (2004) with First Class honours.

My practice has a rebel ethic that distorts art traditions in order to create surprising and original works: “Like putting Botticelli’s Venus through a Jimi Hendrix Fuzz Face distortion pedal.”

My work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, Having had several solo shows – The Distortion Form Paintings at LMP, (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.

I have been selected for the ING Discerning Eye, the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, NEAC, and the Singer & Friedlander/Sunday Times Watercolour Competition.

I featured in a TV advert for TD Trading airing on Sky News. My work is held in numerous private collections. I am also the Founder of the art review website and YouTube channel ArtTop10.com.
