Robin Whitmore is a visual artist, who has designed many shows for theatre and continues to make collaborative work with different London communities. He worked first with Neil Bartlett to create the show Dressing Up in 1983, and later A Vision of Love Revealed in Sleep (1988).
As part of the first presentation of The Seven Sacraments of Nicolas Poussin at The Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel, Whitmore was on stage with Bartlett, live-drawing details from the projected images of Poussin's Sacrament paintings onto a blackboard. He later made a new series of prints from these drawings, which were published in a book accompanying the text used in the performance.
