For Robert, painting the ever-shifting lights of the sea,
sky and landscape equates to capturing a parallel range
of human emotions. This is why so many make a human connection
to his art. It is not just about decoration, pretty colours
painted with great facility and flair, but a reflection
of the artist's and our own changing moods and feelings.
This exhibition provides an opportunity to view the mature
painting of a true Cornish artist who knows the subject
of the sea like the back of his hand but still finds new
ways to express it and continues to give it new meaning.

| "Last
summer I passed an open gateway and saw a dark presence
in the landscape. An oak with sheep sheltering in the
shade beneath. I made several paintings of this and other
oaks, and sensed that they were almost worlds in themselves
providing a home for birds, insects, animals etc." |

"A
few years ago I visited France. We came to a small town
in the evening. Chateaux Briant. The town seemed pretty
deserted, but was alive with the noise of the calls of
roosting rooks." |

Robert
found himself captivated by old oak trees in Wales "a
dark presence in the otherwise sunlit landscape."
"In late autumn the oaks seemed to glow in their
autumn colours." |

"The
Pine trees St. Ives Bay are a theme I have often returned
to. Again, mysterious dark shapes, but seen against the
sea, full of life and energy and moved by the wind, with
the shadows of passing clouds." |
