Jubilee documents our changing times using broken down images and type from newspapers and magazines during the year running up to 2012. The work creates a stark reality of the world we currently find ourselves living in. Taking inspiration from the fanzines of the 1970’s and 80’s this work looks at the comparison between the Silver Jubilee and the Diamond Jubilee. Thirty-five years later it feels like nothing has changed as we find ourselves yet again in a society of inequality, rising unemployment and depression. It’s a window into a dystopian world where money has become a new god for our humanity to worship and the greed of a few far exceeds the want of many. Will the youth rise up and create a new world? We are living in turbulent times and this work creates reportage on the build up to a prophetic year that has been expected to bring about global change. Robert returns for his second show at Vyner Street Gallery

"Walking through the city everyday, I quickly realised it would be impossible for me to fully grasp its immensity, density and diversity. Since I was only able to see it in fragments, I decided not to try to represent the city, but instead lose myself in its rhythm, flow and ever-changing nature. Here, at the heart of the city, I merely observe and draw the passing of time. Between reality and fiction, I map out these routes, conveying only segments of what I saw and felt. This sensory and emotional experience made way for a series of watercolour drawings, illustrating and outlining everyday’s reach.”

Bistrotheque
For minimalist warehouse chic in the middle of the East End head down to this converted factory. Its whiteness, high ceiling and hanging lights (not too bright) just add to the effect, which is elegant and stylish. You'll find unpretentious classic dishes, bringing together choice influences from French and English food.
