I have always felt that it was a tragedy that Robert's breathtaking Barbican mural should have been allowed to deteriorate to such an extent. Could it not be restored? Could the Plymouth authorities not be convinced that in Robert Lenkiewicz's work, they have something absolutely unique? Perhaps some dedicated soul who lives closer to Plymouth than I do could start a restoration campaign. His memory deserves no less.
I am on the Dante mural twice, and like many others learned so much from RobertMy son Marcus Lanyon, i'm certain would not have been set on his path (R.C.A) had it not been for Roberts influence, and he educated me from a 'street Barbarian'!
I too attended Plymouth College of Art, with the help of Robert!

Wow, saw two of Robert's paintings today in a gallery in Norwich and rushed home to watch this. Thanks for posting. I am in complete awe of his skill and vision. Best wishes Johnathan.
Imagine, Billy Connolly was of the last people that he painted.... And to have it on film - Magic. A true and missunderstood talent - Robert <3
