Jeffrey Robb - Liminal State

In 1993, while Jeffrey Robb was still a student at the Royal College of Art in London, I put on an exhibition of his holographic work at Smith's Gallery in Covent Garden. Entitled "Landscapes & Metamorphoses" it exposed two strands of his work, the painterly landscape images which took the form of white light transmission holograms, and the 'metamorphoses' which used computer software to transform photographic images into reflection stereograms.
Some of his work from that period is in my collection.

Nearly 20 years later, after a prolonged stint in commercial holography, Jeff has returned to his art career and is exhibiting lenticular works internationally. Check out his website here. 

His new show at Hayhill Gallery in London's Cork Street, at the epicentre of the art trade, displays some of the finest lenticular images I have ever seen. Once a medium I somewhat looked down on, lenticular imaging has developed almost beyond recognition from the winky postcards of my youth into something that fits perfectly into contemporary art at the highest level. I am so pleased to see Jeff back where he belongs and at the top of his game.

If you are able to see the exhibition in person, don't miss the opportunity but, in any case, do take a look at the website. Both nudes and abstract works are superb!

PS Members of the prestigious Ivy Club in London's West End, can now enjoy a selection of Jeff's latest work on the walls of their 4th floor bar.  Jeff gave a talk and 3D slide show there last night and I got to interview him about his life  and work in holography and 3D.
