We are very excited to be showing works by the Swedish artist, Robert Hilmersson, in November & December.

Hilmersson has an astonishingly mature and sophisticated approach to what has become known as "Urban Art". Where Street Art is at its most subversive in the street, and can appear castrated when confined to a frame
on a gallery wall, Hilmersson's work is at its most effective in a traditional environment, demanding attention for
what is on, and beneath the surface.

He uses illustration, collage, oilstick & paint to produce original works on canvas that are both engaging
and provocative.

While an original talent, Hilmersson's multi-layer construction is reminiscent of Robert Rauschenberg and
Jeff Koons, while the stencil ‘benday’ dots appear to, wittily, reference both Lichtenstein and Banksy.

The paintings in the exhibition are all 80 cms square and we are hoping to have 10 available for sale.

Apart from exhibitions in his native Sweden, (Stockholm and Gothenburg), Hilmersson has shown in France,
Belgium, Hungary, Spain and the USA.

This will be his first U.K. exhibition.
