Robin Archer Robin is one of the UK's most exciting figurative
artists. His stunning contemporary nudes and female figures are
painted exclusively in oils, and many of his techniques and methods
are classical in execution. There is a strong sense of modernity in
his work however, which originates in his rich use of contextual
colour and his playful approach to perspective. His detailed figures
are placed against bold blocks of colour set at interesting planes
and angles, which introduces a feeling of energy and warmth. Despite
his formal art education Robin describes himself as a self-taught
painter. While his compositions are clearly contemporary in style,
they are firmly rooted in the rich tradition of European figurative
painting. His fascination with this genre has led him to cite a
range of influences, from the beautiful dancers of Edgar Degas to
the formal elegance of John Singer Sargent's portraits. Robin was
born in Nottinghamshire. After completing an Art and Design
Foundation course at Clarendon College, Nottingham, he moved to
Cornwall where he embarked on a BA Honours Degree course in
Illustration at Falmouth College of Arts. He now lives and works in
Nottinghamshire. Robin has been a full time artist for several
years, and his work has been shown to great acclaim across the UK. |
