Prophet Royal Robertson's (1936-1997) energetic style and misogynistic images have attracted widespread attention in America though he is known in the UK. He developed three dominant themes in his work: calendar drawings, fantasy paintings of futuristic cities and drawings chronicling his unhappy marriage to his wife Adel. She is portrayed as a "bad, adulterous viper".
For the past year and half Sam Basu, Tom Humphreys and Paul Johnson have acquired small personal collections of his works. These collections combined will form Prophet Royal Robertson's first UK retrospective exhibition opening at Flaca on 22nd January 2005.
