This is one of Robert Dunt's "Distortion Form" paintings.This painting was inspired by an Alfred Wallis painting that Robert saw on a recent trip to St Ives. Alfred Wallis made simple port and shipping scenes painted in a naive style. He had no formal training but was a great influence on artists like Ben Nicholson. He had a skilful and controlled use of colours. The painting Robert saw just used greens and greys, siennas and Paynes Grey to create…
a harmonious and dazzling work. In fact very similar to the way Braque would use colours sometimes. Inspired by this Robert wanted to produce a painting using a similar reduced palette.
The Distortion Form paintings are inspired by music, and in particular the band the Jesus and Mary Chain. Robert was influenced by paintings that explored colour such as the works by Monet, Matisse and Jackson Pollock. But he did not just want to recreate these paintings and so began looking at a way of using colour in a more contemporary context.
