Robert Webster - Warsaw 1 (own printing)

Robert Webster tries in his paintings, prints and drawings to arrive at a combination of form and content, of abstract value and pictorial symbolism. His work is a reorientation of figuration without lapsing into imitation. Transformation of the observed plays a major role in this. Wonder about life and death is one of the starting points in his work.
Webster, draftsman, graphic artist and painter, was born in 1946 in Diemen, near Amsterdam. He studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam, where he obtained his diploma in free graphics and painting in 1967.
After this, he received a grant for the State Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw through a Cultural Exchange Treaty from the Ministry of Education, Arts and Sciences. In addition to his work as an independent artist, he has been a teacher at the Minerva Academy in Groningen (1976-79) and the Leiden Reinwardt Academy (1977-83).
Since 1979 he teaches drawing, graphic techniques and painting at the Royal Academy in The Hague. His work has been shown in: Stedelijk Museum, Museum Fodor, Beurs van Berlage and ING in Amsterdam; Galerie Polder, Borne; Galerie Zapiecek, Warsaw, Poland; Singer Museum, Laren; Harcourts Contemporary Art, San Francisco; Modern Art Travels East-West in Rotterdam, Singapore and Jakarta, Corporate ING Collection; Gasunie Groningen.
