REVIEWS
Claire Graves, Webby Awards Executive Director says:
“LDN Reimagined offers a bolder, wiser, more complex vision of how we can see the world. By bringing dreary London to life with fantastical visions that provoke our imagination”
Iain Sinclair, author and film-maker says:
“The fantastic and now inevitable metropolis of Robert John. The Tooting-born photographer celebrates what ought to be, rather than what promoters and CGI fraudsters would have us believe. His London is animate, alarming, astonishing.”
Tom Chambers, photographer and author says:
“Robert John’s images take you to a place that is somewhere between a sci-fi novel and reality. Beams of light and dark shadows transport you through the structures and skyline of London where urban grit inter- faces with nature.”

Lord Strathcarron, Chairman of Unicorn Publishing Group says:
“One look was all it took; we knew we had to publish this art. It breaks new ground, as inspiring as Robert is himself. Re-imagining is a constant process, never standing still; the book design reflects this, each page seeming to turn itself. The exhibition confirms our excitement, a chance for viewers to share his imagining directly, to interpret his realty as he has interpreted perceived reality. We are delighted and honoured to be working with such an expressive artist.”
