Robert Saunders

Robert gained a degree in Contemporary Art from the University of Northumberland and later undertook further tuition by internationally exhibited painter Riduan Tomkins. His paintings and works on paper are abstract and are open to interpretation. He lives in Cornwall and exhibits at Penwith Gallery and Mariners Gallery in St Ives and in Salt Walls Gallery, Newquay and his work is also available for sale online.

“The pictorial gestation and my midwifery of these artworks is a type of metaphysical work. Images evolve as transparent meets opaque, smooth meets complex, hard meets soft, and sharp meets round. They retain what was in relation to what is now, the one informing and enriching the other. As such, the past is visible in my paintings, the present is in movement and the future is always open. In terms of visual inspiration I am drawn to fleeting effects of light on surfaces, to the sky and clouds, and shadows on hills.”
