theartistrobert is the moniker of Robert Walker a UK-based fine art oil painter best known for his ‘geo-figurative’ works and quirky still lifes painting in oils.
Interested in the semiotics of the figure, his latest works derive their meaning based on the model’s body language or expression and perceived cue his narratives drawing from mythology, popular culture and imagined reality. He enjoys the interplay of the organic figure with linear and ovoid geometric forms bound together through a vibrant colour palette and considered composition. His figurative outlines express his desire to communicate the electric energy within the human form and his use of ‘guard’ lines to protect the model is a personal stylistic choice. As such his work can be considered abstract expressionist.
