Living on a canal boat for seven years finally gave Robert the isolation needed to concentrate solely on painting, and during this period he developed the skill and insight which led one newspaper critic to describe his technique as 'consummate' and another to call his works 'seductively exotic'.

In recent years Robert has pared down his imagery and returned to what he considers to be the root and basis for all subsequent painting - cubism. His over-riding concern is to find a balance between a fragmentation of the image that respects the integrity of the canvas, and a heightened reality that increases the expressive power of the image.
