1952 - 1988

A Life of Poetry and Portraiture

David Robilliard was a British poet and contemporary artist born in Guernsey. After moving to London in 1975, he sought a career as a musician and a poet. While he had no formal training as a painter, he began making drawings and writing poetry during his early years in Guernsey. His creative output in London was deeply intertwined with the social scene of Soho, Shoreditch, and various London clubs. He was a close associate of Gilbert & George, who encouraged him to pair his written words with visual images.

His poetic works include the volumes Inevitable and Swallowing Helmets. In 1987, he distributed shorter poems on postcards to a mailing list. His artistic output between 1987 and 1988 consisted of almost all paintings, which were portraits of acquaintances, fellow artists, and anonymous people he observed.

Exhibitions and Legacy

Robilliard's work has been featured in several notable exhibitions, including:

His paintings are held in the permanent collections of the Tate Modern in London, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, and the Arts Council Collection. His work was also the subject of a retrospective exhibition at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London in 2014.
