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.
