Robert Priseman
Robert Priseman (born in Spondon, Derbyshire in 1965)[1][2] is a British artist, collector, writer, curator and publisher who lives and works in Essex, England. Over 200 works of art by Priseman are held in art museum collections around the world including the V&A,[3] Museum der Moderne Salzburg, Art Gallery of New South Wales,[4] Musée de Louvain la Neuve, The Royal Collection at Windsor Castle, The Allen Memorial Art Museum, The Mead Art Museum, Honolulu Museum of Art and The National Galleries of Scotland.
Priseman read Aesthetics and Art Theory at the University of Essex under art theorist Professor Michael Podro and began his working life as a book designer for Longman publishers (1989-1992). While there he started painting portraits in oils, with sitters including the Dalai Lama, Phil Collins, Jeremy Paxman and Cardinal Basil Hume. Work from this period is held in number of public collections including The Royal Collection at Windsor Castle, Corpus Christi College Cambridge and Cranfield University.[5] In 2004 he gave up portrait painting [5] and embarked on thematic series of works aimed to engage the viewer in dialogue on provocative psychological and socio-political issues. Such works include The Hospital Paintings,[6] Subterraneans, The Francis Bacon Interiors,[7] No Human Way to Kill, The Troubles and Nazi Gas Chambers.[8]
In 2013 Priseman, in partnership with artist, Simon Carter established Contemporary British Painting.[9] In 2013 he donated a collection of twenty paintings by contemporary British artists, known as 'The Robert Priseman Gift', to the Falmouth Art Gallery, England.[10] Robert Priseman and Simon Carter established 'East Contemporary Art: A collection of 21st Century Practice' at University Campus Suffolk, England.[11] Priseman also collects paintings by British artists he admires and owns the ‘Priseman Seabrook Collection of 21st Century British Painting’ which first went on museum display at Huddersfield Art Gallery in 2014.[12][13] In 2010 he was appointed Fellow at the Human Rights Centre, University of Essex[14] in 2015 Visiting Professor in Fine Art at the Department of Art and Humanities, University Campus Suffolk,[12] and in 2017 a Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Leeds[15]
