A quick hop, skip and jump through my visual poetry (and some booklets)

Whether Visual Poetry is “art” or not has long been debated, even though it has been shown in galleries historically during its peak in the 60s and in retrospective exhibitions. I’ve decided to post my work here in the Art section, leaving the poets to their words! Heh-heh.

Robin Tomens has been making art since the Punk era, when he started producing zines. He uses multi-media such as paper, print, paint, photography, typewriters and digital technology, often combining them in one piece. His work has featured in exhibitions (with The Tunnel collective and by Frederic Acquaviva), booklets for Timglaset and Redfoxpress and the periodical, Le Monde Diplomatique; it has also been used for album and book covers. Text in abstract or literal form has been a constant in his art and visual poetry. He is the author of Points of Departure – Essays On Modern Jazz (Stride) and contributed to the anthology, Cut Up! (Oneiros Books). He makes his own artist’s books, the most recent one being a collection of typewriter art called Back To Earth. In 2022 he won the Wishing Jewel Prize. He lives in London.
