Monotype, 38 x 29.5cm (unframed)
Robbie Fife’s paintings and prints are carefully constructed, featuring an intriguing array of subjects including toy-like towers that become rockets, mysterious figures, and sharks. A course in Indian miniature painting, and the architecture of the Spanish landscape have profoundly influenced Robbie’s practice resulting in gently surreal works that are rich in surface pattern and narrative.
Recent imagery explores the idea of above and below, imagining worlds that exist under the surface. Sticks, roots, kists, the bellies of icebergs, fishing nets, and Greenland sharks all appear as phenomena that could have been left behind or buried. Often, otherworldly beings are the protagonists in Robbie’s imagery, further shaping his enigmatic narratives. In 2021, Robbie began experimenting with the monotype process, resulting in a new body of unique prints on paper which continue to blend rural with planetary imagery.
Purchased works are usually despatched within three working days.
