Additional Information

Hacking Heron takes many of its colours from a painting by the traditional abstract British artist Patrick Heron. In his own inspirational chaotic fashion, Robert creates surprising beauty through his unconventional approach that twists traditions. In essence, he "hacked" the Heron painting by taking the colours and using them in his own way, like stealing notes from a song. He then covered this work with his trademark black and white Distortion Forms, a metaphor for noise, chaos and distortion. The Jesus and Mary Chain wrote pretty "Beach Boys" like pop songs but then covered them with noise and distortion and feedback. Robert also painted ‘pretty’ colourful paintings and then covered them with black and white "Distortion Forms", a visual metaphor for the noise and distortion used by the Jesus and Mary Chain. 

Though inspired by music, these paintings are firmly rooted in the visual.

Really impressed by the service, regular communications and quality of the artwork received. The website was easy to view and shop from with lots of relevant information to help with artwork selection. I received regular email updates which was really useful as it kept me in the know at all times. I could anticipate the tax payment and delivery. Thank you so much.

Buying my first piece of art online felt like a big deal, and Rise Art made it an exceptional experience from start to finish. Their collection is massive—every style, every format, something for literally every kind of space and vibe. Meredith from the Rise Art team was in touch the whole way through, from when I hit “purchase” to when the piece landed on my doorstep. It felt thoughtful and personal, which isn’t what you expect with online shopping. Safe to say this won’t be my last piece from them.
