Robert O'Rorke

Robert O'Rorke (Born 1945) was active/lived in England, United Kingdom.  Robert ORorke is known for Painting, large abstract paintings.

Robert O'Rorke was born in 1945. Upon graduating the Royal College of Art in 1969, O’Rorke rented a large studio in St Katherine’s Docks, a huge warehouse near the Tower of London, which Bridget Riley had taken over on short lease. It was the first artist-run studio in London providing spaces for over hundred artists. ‘After about eighteen months we had to move and some of us went to an old school in Hackney but it was a long way from where I was living and I subsequently found a large warehouse space in Chelsea which was much nearer my house. I spent three years working there and continued with the large abstract paintings but also did a lot of smaller collages, one of which was Sweet Dreams which I painted in about 1972. At the time I was still interested in exploring the contrast between figurative imagery and paint used just as paint and the transition between these two conventions.’
