Bob and Roberta Smith

Bob and Roberta Smith (real name Patrick Brill) is a contemporary artist who produces hand lettered artworks that make political and cultural comment. The brightly coloured statements often use humour to convey the message. Many of Bob and Roberta Smith's recent work has been targeting the government's policy of cutting arts funding and in particular Michael Gove's erosion of arts teaching in schools.

Locally you can see Bob and Roberta Smith's work at the New Art Gallery Walsall. The Epstein Archive Gallery is his response to the extensive collection of the sculptor's work held by the gallery.
