Robert BOTTOM Robert Bottom: Irish contemporary art, artist and paintings
Robert Bottom was born in Cambridge, England in 1944. He trained in Fine Arts at Canterbury College of Art and in film making at Newport.
From 1975 to 1995 Robert Bottom was Head of Art at Campbell College, Belfast. After this he took up a full time career in contemporary painting. The Robert Bottom artist studio is in Northern Ireland where much of Robert Bottom modern art is carefully created and produced. Robert Bottom paintings feature landscapes and seascapes inspired by locations such as Malta, Jordan, Turkey and Scilly Isles.
In his contemporary paintings Robert Bottom tries to capture an atmosphere and reaction of places he has visited. For Bottom it is an attempt to get at the essence of things, something like the Artists of the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist movements, whose imagery was concerned with light, feeling, movement and colour. Robert Bottom has won many painting awards. These include: Arts Council Travel Award to New York for 1992 Exhibition; The National Self Portrait Collection, Limerick, Ireland (Autumn 1996); and Arts Council Travel Award to Philadelphia for 2002 Exhibition. In 1997 Robert Bottom was appointed Artist in residence - Eastern Mediterranean, Baltic and Irish Cruises for Voyage of Discovery Cruises. This has enabled Robert to paintings on a “broader canvas” exploring some of the magic and mystery of these ancient and often remote landscapes. Robert Bottom has exhibited extensively in solo and group art exhibitions in Belfast, Dublin, Sligo, Cumbria, New York and Pennsylvania. Robert Bottom contemporary paintings are in public art collections including: Allied Irish Bank, Europa Hotel Belfast, Belfast City Council, and Ulster Bank Belfast. In addition his paintings are also in many private British art collections and in Ireland, Switzerland, Canada, America and Australia. Robert Bottom contemporary art is regularly exhibited at Red Rag Irish Art Gallery, and Robert Bottom art can also be found at other leading Irish Art Galleries plus a number of British Art Galleries To receive updates on artist Robert BOTTOM's work click here
