[lang_en] Bermingham was born in Brighton and lives in Swansea, Wales.
Richard Robinson was born in Orpington, Kent and lives in Cardiff, Wales.
Robert Bermingham & Richard Robinson have been working collaboratively, forging a dynamic artistic partnership that has a growing reputation within the contemporary visual arts in Wales. Their work fuses drawing, collage, installation and sculpture in an exciting and innovative way, utilizing new ideas and techniques and creating a vibrant energy and makeup to the visual arts not only in Wales, but now across the wider UK.
They have a keen eye for drawing and making things; finely crafted collages of advertisements, cross-stitch panels and references to art history sit alongside seemingly random sketches, objects, notes and reminders to each other. Their practice is born out of the need to reconcile the promise of a sun-filled youth with the reality of growing up.
Robinson graduated from West Wales School of the Arts in 1996. Bermingham graduated from Grays School of Art, Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, 1996 and they have both exhibited across the UK extensively including: Some Vacant Accommodation, SVA, Stroud, Gloucestershire, 2007; In His Image (Solo show), GAREJ Artspace, Cardiff, 2007; The Jerwood Drawing Prize, London, Cheltenham, Birmingham, Suffolk, Durham, Cardiff, 2006; National Eisteddfod, Swansea 2006; Bull & Bear (Solo show), g39, Cardiff, 2006; The Wave, Assembly.
