Robert Priseman Biography

Robert Priseman is one of the most popular and richest British artist who was born on January 4, 1965 in Derbyshire, England, United Kingdom. The ‘Gas Chambers series was created by Priseman following the success of ‘No Human Way to Kill.’ These were first displayed at The Minories Galleries in Colchester, UK. This project focuses on three aspects. It focuses on Nazi Germany’s developmental steps that started with the gassing and ended in genocide. The Wannsee Conference participants are portrayed in the first part. The second part is six pencil drawings that look like hand-coloured postcards. They show the outside of hospitals in Germany and Austria, where the T4 Euthanasia program took place between 1939-1941. The third section consists of five large oil paintings measuring 6 x 9 feet each. These paintings trace the Nazis’ progress towards industrialized killing, which culminated at Auschwitz. In addition to being exhibited at CoCA in Christchurch, New Zealand in 2010, and Arch 402 Gallery in London in 2012, the project was also shown. The Wannsee portraits can be found at the Tweed Museum of Art in Duluth Minnesota, USA, and the rest of the collection at Museum der Moderne in Salzburg, Austria.

Priseman started work on the No Human Way to Kill series in 2007. It depicts the five methods of execution used by the USA (Hanging Firing Squad, Gassing Lethal Injection and Electrocution). Twelve etchings examine other methods of state-approved execution around the globe. This series explored how different countries execute condemned prisoners. It also examined the social construction of execution as a form of group catharsis. No Human Way to Kill was shown at The Dazed Gallery, London, in 2008 and at The White Box, New York, in 2010 and 2011. Original paintings and drawings can be found at Amherst College in Massachusetts. A set of twelve etchings is at the V&A, London.
