Jeff Robb is a British artist
known for his lenticular photographic fine art, focusing on the female nude and
abstract forms in space. He graduated with Distinction from the Royal College
of Art in 1992 with a Master’s degree in Fine Art Holography and has since been
continually making art, ceaselessly experimenting with three-dimensional
imaging. Inspired by the nude female form – its countless permutations of
body/composition, facial expression, and light, provide both a technical
challenge and fascinating problem for the artist to solve. Robb also finds
inspiration in his chosen medium – Lenticular Photography, a complicated,
expensive process that captures the world and its subjects in a strange,
wonderful blend of photography and sculpture. His work, a 2-dimensional print
with 3-dimensional illusory properties, suspends the viewer’s perception of
reality. The artist feels that this suspension is of great importance for our
minds to feel, considering that we (particularly in the Western World) live in
a spiritual vacuum. “We need magical inspiration in our lives and I’d like to
share a sense of this in my work.” Aside from lenticular photography, Jeff Robb
works in a variety of mediums, including painting, bronze, and silver cast
sculpture, reflection and transmission holography, photography, film, laser
light, and sound installations.
