About Robert Dunt

 
 
  • Biography

    Robert Dunt is a colourist abstract artist who graduated from City & Guilds of London Art School (2004) with First Class honours. His painting, prints and installations are inspired by music and explore the use of colour in a contemporary context. His practice has a rebel ethic that distorts art traditions in order to create surprising and original works. His paintings are notable for their ‘Distortion Forms’ - black and white shapes that work as a visual metaphor for the sound of noise, distortion and feedback.

    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 ArtTop10
