About
Why this artist matters now
David Robilliard was a British painter and sculptor whose practice emerged in postwar abstraction and figuration. Working primarily in oil and mixed media, he developed a distinctive vocabulary of gestural marks and fragmented forms that negotiated between expressionist impulse and conceptual restraint. His career, though brief, established him as a significant voice in British art during the 1980s before his death in 1988.
