Robert Montgomery in his studio
Renown artist Robert Montgomery - “a good soul with enlightenment aspirations, wild, boundless, passionate...” (Anna Jill Lupertz, Berlin 2015) From the Californian desert to France’s trendiest surfing spot, Montgomery invades our public sphere with his powerful and eye-catching visual poems. Montgomery’s work engages with the urban world through his translucent poetry, taking a direct approach to universal themes such as power and love, expressing his views on contemporary life and affirming his personal and philosophical beliefs through language, light, paper and space. In his poems, our artist speaks about his deepest memories, such as the death of his best friend, Sean Flynn in “THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE” or essential global crisis with his collaboration with the Climate Coalition (UK’s largest group of people dedicated to action against climate change). Selected for many Biennales around the world, the work of our artist always has an impact on the environment it is set in and speaks internationally to every soul that comes across his works. People around the world establish strong emotional relationships with his works and hang his quotes on their bedroom walls or even get tattoos of his quotes on their own bodies...
“I feel it’s a kind of responsibility to critique things that you think are bad – but I also feel an almost moral obligation to propagate hope”
At MTArt Agency invests in artists that have a strong impact on people on a global scale. For MTArt it is really important to implement art and the messages of artists in people’s lives whether it is in their home, their streets or within creative collaborations. Robert Montgomery is part of a new breed of established artists who were attracted by the recent growth of the company and it’s a new step for the company to take on such prestigious artists.
“It’s a dream come true to have Robert Montgomery joining MTArt Agency. I have long admired his work and I feel that we share so many values in common. I cannot wait to make the most inspiring public art projects happen with him and see all our collectors with his works on their walls.”
“The art world is changing quickly. MTA are very interesting- a new kind of organisation designed primarily to support artists. They are set up to be complementary to the traditional galleries I work with and not competitive with them, and they are able to help me realise projects that I simply can’t realise on my own. I’m excited to see what we can do together. I was drawn to them because they are ambitious and forward thinking. They have a strong sense of ecology and they understand both public art and the digital world.”
“MTArt Agency is an award-winning talent agency that was recently appointed as a B Corp. We are the crossroads that connects artistic talent with brands, cultural projects and collectors. We have an array of expertise that we use to make the art world a better place. We are both a leading name in establishing artists and integrating art into the mainstream.
