Description:
ROBERT DUTTON
Robert received his formal training at Kingston upon Hull
College & Design, graduating with a BA (Hons) degree in Graphic
Design and Illustration.
He worked initially as a graphic designer for a commercial studio
and in a freelance capacity for a number of private practices in
the North of England. Throughout this time he maintained an
active involvement in the field of fine arts and, since choosing to
exhibit his work more extensively, he has received wide
recognition as an accomplished artist.
Robert has travelled extensively throughout the Mediterranean,
where the unique atmosphere has long been a source of
inspiration to artists. The intense sunlight, deep shadows, lively
street markets and relaxed café society, together with stunning
land and seascapes are captured in his distinctive images
expressing all the vigour and excitement of that region.
Working mainly in acrylics, pastel and mixed media, he employs
experimental techniques and a rich palette to produce paintings
of sumptuous colour and vitality.
