'Never Knowing Why' is an art project by Robert Priseman with accompanying essays and interviews which explores the phenomena of rampage shootings by students or former students in schools.

An small booklet which explores the series of paintings 'Hospital' by the British artist Robert Priseman. Accompanied by essays from Professor Margaret Iversen and Dr Ben Cranfield, this important series of paintings was produced between 2004-2006. Key influences are Edward Hopper's alienating worlds of urban isolation and Magritte's painting of 1954 'The Empire of Lights' where life is seen to be in a delicate state of flux and transition. This is echoed in the 'Hospital' series where medical environments view the human body without hierarchy or function, but existing between two states of being.

A beautiful and deeply moving book by the internationally acclaimed painter Robert Priseman. This project presents a series of miniature paintings inspired by a set of dioramas constructed in Baltimore by Frances Glessner Lee, collectively known as the 'Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death'. They explore the deposition sites of the Ipswich Murders of 2006 and are each framed in an antique Indian shrine to help explore how trauma can define the sacred and how painting can act as a means to meditate our emotional responses to events. These areas of quite rural Suffolk countryside are also the same locality which the British artist John Constable made famous through his 19th Century landscape paintings. Accompanied by an in depth essay by the art historian Dr Matthew Bowman, an interview with John-Paul Pryor and an introduction by Robert Priseman first published in 'Art of England' this is a deeply moving and personal odyssey in painting and the written word.

Outlaws is a series of finely drawn portraits of women by the artist Robert Priseman. It is not until you read their stories that you realise these women have been executed for murder. Between 1900 and 2005, fifty women were executed in the USA, some as young as 17. Outlaws reveals the story of 36 of them. This project is accompanied by an essay by distinguished writer and BBC programme maker Tessa Livingstone, PhD, FRSA. A British born artist, Robert Priseman has paintings in many international art collections including the V&A in London, Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney, Honolulu Museum of Art, Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art and the MdM in Salzburg.

A new view on Contemporary British Painting.The Priseman Seabrook Collection of 21st Century British Painting has evolved out of a personal mission to re-discover and explore the work of those artists who are continuing to develop and deepen the practice of painting in the United Kingdom in the digital age. A practice which in the past has seen the emergence of such talents at Hans Holbein, Joshua Reynolds, John Constable, J. M. W. Turner, Joseph Wright, Francis Bacon, Paula Rego and Lucian Freud. Initially working with the painter Simon Carter on a series of small scale solo shows from the Crypt in St Marylebone Parish Church, London, a new cohort of interesting painters with common aims began to emerge, painters who include European Sovereign Painters Prize winner Susan Gunn, John Moores Prize winner Nicholas Middleton, Wyss Foundation prize winner Harvey Taylor, Matthew Krishanu, Birtle Prize for Painting winner Simon Burton, 54th Venice Biennale exhibitor Marguerite Horner, Alex Hanna and East London Painting Prize winner Nathan Eastwood amongst many others. From this group and a wider circle of painters we have been getting to know through the shows, the idea for forming this new collection evolved and it is the work of these painters which helps to form the basis of this collection, which currently numbers 75 paintings, all produced in the United Kingdom after the year 2000

ArtRabbit describes FAME as "An extraordinary series of new work" and Eventbrite, New York, as a series of "Haunting portraits of some of the 20th century's most famous celebrities." Rhizome says "FAME both literalizes and deconstructs the notion that celebrity has replaced religion, drawing parallels between the immediacy of tabloid culture in the internet age." In 'FAME' the internationally acclaimed artist Robert Priseman presents 100 antique religious icons, purchased from e-bay and over-painted with the portrait of a 20th century celebrity who died prematurely from suicide or as a result of a self-destructive lifestyle. Celebrities like Peg Entwistle, who, on Friday 16th September 1932 left her Los Angeles home and walked to the foot of the Hollywood sign where she climbed a workman's ladder to the top of the letter "H" and leaped to her death. Born in Port Talbot, Peg Entwistle had performed in 10 New York plays yet nurtured an ambition to appear in movies. She finally achieved her dream when she gained the role of "Hazel Cousins" in the film Thirteen Women (1932). Yet when no further roles materialized she began drinking heavily and is now remembered as a symbol for the lost aspirations of actors who move to Hollywood to become stars. Other portraits in this landmark project include Ernest Hemingway, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954, million selling American jazz singer Billie Holiday who died guarded by police in the Metropolitan Hospital, New York, with only $0.70 in the bank, rock legend Kurt Cobain and writer Virginia Woolf. Fame it seems, has a dark side. "These beautiful new works look at the parallels between religion and celebrity." Daybees
