About Robert Dunt

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.
