Return Of The King Of The Bottletops
Robson Cezar
A pair of huge Staffordshire Dogs appeared in Rough Trade East in the Old Truman Brewery yesterday to the amazement of those browsing for new music. Fashioned by Brazilian artist and Spitalfields resident, Robson Cezar, from almost seven thousand bottletops, they are harbingers of the imminent arrival of my new London Album.
After collecting, sorting and glueing so many bottletops in place, no wonder Robson threw his hat in the air as a gesture of triumph when his magnificent gleaming picture was finally installed. If you have enjoyed a drink in The Golden Heart in Commercial St or The Carpenters Arms in Cheshire St recently – then, unwittingly, you may have contributed to the creation of these fearsome beasts.
Yet these dogs are just part of a menagerie of creatures created by Robson Cezar this year, seemingly given animate life by the shimmering light and moving reflections which are a quality of his unique artistic medium, conjuring sophisticated effects of colour and tone using waste materials that no-one else values.

The return of the king! Magnificent! Such fabulous mosaics. xx
An artist indeed, down to his bottletop socks.
Wonderful art powered by a vivid imagination. I’m tempted to just buy bottled beer in the Golden Heart from now on!
might Robson find bottle top donations useful? – or does he have quite enough already?!
Wow! These are wonderful – look like some of Robson’s best ever.
Big smiles on this–LOVE!
Wow – I’ve got to pop round and see that
Absolutely Fantastic, I’ll show my ” arty “friends.
Magnificent !
What patience he must have

Everything so beautiful – Love it I am proud of you!
Just by looking at my uncles art work gives me such inspiration! I remember when I was about 6 years old me and him would play around with play dough and we would make little pieces of rings, necklaces , earrings .. or we would create a small kitchen with the pans , cups etc. He has patience for so many things , he is truly an AMAZING artist! I give credits to those who take there times to make such a strong image thru there art and I am glad I have a member in the family who does this as well .
Hey!

Parabéns Robson.
Este codinome “O Rei das Tampinhas” não foi um acaso.
Como em um reinado só existe um Rei, na arte das tampinhas só existe um artista: você, que brilhantemente vem encantando os olhos de quem as vê.
Sua arte garante a reciclagem das tampinhas e ao mesmo tempo estampa os murais com sua arte poética, genuína e sensível. Sua imaginação não tem fim.
Parabéns pelo artista que é.
Parabens Robson!
