Born in 1964 in Liverpool, Robbie Bushe is an artist who now lives and works in Scotland. Robbie tends to create oil paintings in an illustrative style, depicting unusual scenes such as imagined, futuristic cities. As such, there is a deep sense of narrative running through his art, which could be referred to as a type of fantasy art. Each painting is filled with weird and wonderful characters, and it’s easy to lose yourself in Robbie’s imagined worlds.
