Robert kerr | studio 259
Now based back in London, Robert’s careers have taken him in numerous directions; professional photographer and licenced black cab driver in London as well as university lecturer and artist in his adopted home of Auckland, New Zealand, where he lived for many years.
To say that Robert’s choice of careers has been eclectic would be an understatement. His painting style reflects these interests in exploring differences and he hopes to continually adapt and develop his art.
All of Robert’s pieces are hand painted on canvas in either oil or acrylic, often with the addition of gold leaf and resin to create a high gloss finish. Portraiture and landscape painting have always been a fascination. Robert has created a method to supply energy to his portraits of what he regards as iconic figures and he uses landscapes to provide some tranquillity to his otherwise busy world.
Robert’s paintings are created to celebrate his love of music as well as his search for peace amongst the chaos. “Painting these pieces has become my full-time occupation, and I hope you enjoy them as much as I have enjoyed creating them.”
