For Bob and Roberta Smith, art is an important element in democratic life. Much of his art takes the form of painted signs. Central to Bob and Roberta Smith’s thinking is the idea that campaigns are extended art works which include a variety of consciousness raising artefacts. Before studying Fine Art at Goldsmiths in the early 1990′s, Bob lived in Rome, New York and Wensleydale, and now lives between Leytonstone in East London and Ramsgate. He was an Artist Trustee of Tate between 2009 and 2013, and he is currently a trustee for the National Campaign for the Arts, a patron of the NSEAD and a Royal Academician.
