“Angela” (oil on canvas)
British artist Robin Jesson (b. 1930) trained as a painter at Chichester School of Art and Bath Academy of Art, Corsham, in the early 1950s. His tutors included William Scott, Terry Frost and Bryan Wynter.
About
Robin is a colourist, and his work is romantic in style. He paints in series and works in oils, watercolour, mixed media and printmaking.
His work relates to people and places with landscape paintings being “in” rather than “of” the landscape and is inspired by travel in the UK, Europe, the Middle East, India and the USA.
Robin lives and works in Norwich, Norfolk, UK.

In the fifties and sixties Robin exhibited regularly at the A.I.A Gallery in London and subsequently at the Broughton House Gallery in Cambridge. He has jointly curated a number of exhibitions especially when as a Trustee and Chair of the Exhibitions Committee of the Norfolk Contemporary Art Society.
