Robert Montgomery brings a poetic voice and public-interventionist strategies to contemporary Text Art. He works
across diverse media: billboards, solar-powered light pieces, fire poems, woodcuts and watercolours. He has
realised major outdoor light installations on the site of the old US Air Force base at Tempelhof in Berlin, and in
the old imperial port city of Kochi-Muziris in India. He was the British artist selected for both the 2012 Kochi-
Muziris Biennale and the 2016 Yinchuan Biennale. A monograph on his work was published in 2015 by Distanz.
Along with the architects Allied Works, Robert Montgomery is a shortlisted finalist for the UK National Holocaust
Memorial in London.
