Robert Ingpen Boeken

Ingpens kenmerkende stijl is duidelijk in zijn vermogen om klassieke werken tot leven te brengen, waarbij hij personages vaak verankert in hedendaagse contexten. Zijn artistieke invloed is ook zichtbaar in zijn grafisch ontwerpwerk, dat postzegelontwerpen en openbare kunstinstallaties omvat.
