Robert Duxbury

Robert Duxbury is a predominantly self-taught artist based in Melbourne, Australia. His work explores the elusiveness of deep and complex emotions that reside within the subconscious. Through the use of ambiguous symbolism and brooding colour palettes, Duxbury gives form to these enigmatic feelings, reflecting their subtle nuances and emotional depth.

Duxbury spent several years living in Guangdong Province, China, where he studied traditional Chinese Gongbi and ink wash painting techniques. After nearly 15 years of painting exclusively as a street artist, his time in China marked a pivotal turning point, inspiring a shift toward a more traditional, studio-based practice.
