About the Item
Robertson focuses on creating paintings that move beyond portraying reality. Driven by a synthesis of gestural brushstrokes and expressive smears, he offers viewers a liminal space of something that was and is becoming.
Dave works by manipulating information and impulses – presented to him during the creative process – to create a visual narrative. Relying on his ability to react to whatever marks, gestures or brushstrokes appear on the canvas, he lets the evolution of the painting guide his hand. Often working on several pieces simultaneously, operating on various degrees of awareness and intuition, he attempts to uncover what the artwork is trying to tell him. Dave intends to produce works that influence the viewer the same way the creative process influenced him. In doing so, he hopes to allow the viewer to fully appreciate the autonomy and uniqueness of each of his works.
Dave has exhibited prolifically in solo and group shows at galleries spanning Germany, the USA, the Netherlands and South Africa. His paintings have been acquired by a variety of international collectors from the UK, the USA, Australia and Sweden.
This is a large acrylic painting on canvas, with rich texture and colours.

Born in Zimbabwe and based in Cape Town, Dave Robertson has been producing artwork and exhibiting since the mid-90s. Initially known for his charged documentary photography the artist now focuses on creating paintings that move beyond portraying reality. Driven by a synthesis of gestural brushstrokes and expressive smears, he offers viewers a liminal space of something that was and is becoming.. Robertson spent the early part of his journey as an artist, in the film industry freelancing as an art director. In between film projects he followed his passion for photography, documenting marginalised lifestyles as a form of social commentary. In 2010, Dave won a national prize for his Paper Trails documentary project – a piece investigating recyclers in Newtown, Johannesburg – at the Spier Contemporary Competition. After this feat, he decided to take a break from photography and the film industry and focus on painting. He had his first solo exhibition of large-scale abstract paintings in 2011 in Cape Town. He has since continued to explore the realm of abstraction. Dave works by manipulating information and impulses – presented to him during the creative process – to create a visual narrative. Relying on his ability to react to whatever marks, gestures or brushstrokes appear on the canvas, he lets the evolution of the painting guide his hand.
