First of all: congratulations on your excellent GCSE Art results. Miss Borkowski & myself are very proud of you all!

St George's Art at the Saatchi Gallery

Rob Bonar Law's self portrait was one of 5 artworks recently shortlisted from the thousands of artworks on display on the Saatchi online gallery for a Sunday Telegraph Magazine article.

Although the article was eventually published without Rob's work, this was a significant achievement!

Artist statement

My desire to produce powerful, emotional paintings which are read for their content, their colour and their abstract elements. I have to be emotionally and mentally taken over by my paintings. They are seemingly direct ; I paint about the studio, the kitchen, the artist, my children, childhood memories. So imaginative and observational elements co-exist in each work.

In this video however, he talks about how he has begun to move away from urban influences and has started to derive his ideas from living in rural Germany.
