Robert Hilmersson är en av landets mest intressanta och internationellt uppmärksammade pop- & streetartkonstnärer. Det återkommande temat i hans skapande är att sätta kända plaster, händelser, djur, natur och storstadsteman i olika situationer. Ofta tas hjälp av de mänskliga attributen för att spegla vår nutid på ett tankeväckande men samtidigt humoristiskt sätt. Den starka bildsymboliken lockar till eftertänksamhet och inbjuder till att reflektera över det berörda ämnet. Robert Hilmersson väjer inte för de stora ämnena – politik, sociala problem och framförallt klimatet - där hans karakteristiska pingviner skarpsynt skärskådar betraktaren. En av Robert Hilmerssons stora inspirationskällor är popkonstikonen Andy Warhol där tydliga influenser kan ses i bruket av vardagsföremål och attribut för att spegla större ämnen.
Vi observerar att Roberts konst senaste åren även börjat dyka upp på internationella auktioner. Med noteringar på exempel Phillips auction i London 2021, där slutpriset överstiger våra katalogpriser, vilket bekräftar vår tro på hans konst långsiktigt. Givetvis bara en observation men samtidigt en kul egenskap att känna till när du köper ett verk av Hilmersson som du tycker om!

He thinks that they are pleasant to put in different environments as they, in a humorous way, make the viewer think about the bigger issues of our time. Robert has tested a few different penguins, but it is usually the same penguin who returns to him.

A recurring theme in Robert Hilmersson's art is to put the animals in situations with human attributes to reflect on our present time in an absurd but humorous way. The strong visual symbolism that arises highlights different angles and approaches to the subject in question.
London, New York, Los Angeles, and Budapest to name a few cities. Among other things, Sir Elton John has specially commissioned works from Robert. At home in Sweden, he became Affordable Artfair's most noted artist in 2019.
Robert studied Art Studies in Stockholm and worked at a design agency before art took over. As a young man, he painted graffiti and learned to handle spray bottles, a technique that stayed with him throughout his life.
"I like it when there are a few mistakes. Then you bring out more life in the picture"

The influences come from childhood American movies with Clint Eastwood. Over time, the interest developed into a hunt for the unpolished and rough. The old signs and cars give the works a sense of intensity and connect our present with the 70s and 80s.
Robert Hilmersson is very interested in societal issues and art is his way of contributing to the discussion and debate on current topics. A good example is his work "Still Floating", which deals with global warming and its impact on the environment and penguins.
