NEW ARTIST - ROB DARCH


Graduated from UWCN, Newport in 2004 with a degree in Documentary Photography. Although aesthetically his work falls within the contemporary documentary practice, the themes behind the work are more poetic and conceptual in their nature. Creatively he is fascinated by the minutia of everyday life and achieving a sense of place in his work. He has had several solo and group exhibitions in the UK, and now after a long period of ill health is hoping to start working on some extended project ideas. More recently he has been exploring and which has led to delusions of grandeur. His perfectionism leads to procrastination which leads to frustration which leads to self analysis which leads to frustration. He loves nature, and is at his happiest when chewing on grass, or resting by a brook.
