Robin Duttson: A Short Biography

Robin Duttson is a British artist and illustrator renowned for his delicate drawings and prints, which often focus on themes of nature and regeneration. His work draws significant inspiration from the Baroque period, especially the art-forms and materials of German and Italian Baroque, along with pre-Reformation British art. Duttson’s artistic practice often involves a symbolic exploration of nature’s cycles, using motifs such as trees, flowers, and birds to represent growth, transformation, and the passage of time​.

One of his notable projects involves setting up a temporary orchard studio each year to meticulously draw the ephemeral blossoms of apple trees. These seasonal sketches serve as the foundation for his larger works throughout the year, including prints and sculptural recreations of apple trees. Duttson’s work aims to evoke the interconnectedness between humanity and the natural world, blending themes of life, death, and rebirth

In addition to his artistic practice, Duttson’s works are often exhibited and sold through galleries such as TAG Fine Arts. His thoughtful and intricate representations of nature, especially the apple tree, embody both the fragility and optimism of springtime​. (Source: Robin Duttson & TAG Fine Arts)
