Robert Mason

Robert Mason studied at Hornsey College of Art and The British School at Rome. He has exhibited in Asia, Europe, North and South America and his work is included in many national and international collections including The Arts Council, British Council, V&A, British Museum and The Metropolitan Museum of Art. He was awarded an Italian Government Scholarship to Rome in 1968 and a Sainsbury Fellowship in Drawing in 1993. His work has been described by the art critic Sarah Kent as “almost abstract essays in light, colour and gesture that, in spite of their scale, have the intensity and drama of huge baroque melodramas” and by critic Richard Cork as having “a remarkable richness and complexity”.

Robert lives and works in Wivenhoe, Essex.
