Biography
ROBERT BURT
Born in 1962 in Hollywood, Robert Burt is a self-taught artist and has achieved extensive experiences in being the driving force behind his numerous self-founded, bohemian projects. Over 20 years in the 80-90’s, Robert founded and promoted four avant-garde clubs in California: Activity, Atlas, Go and Geraldine. It lasted until 1994, when Robert began to study ceramics under the guidance of two master painters and sculptors.
Later this same year, he opened his first gallery and studio – called “Garage” – in San Diego. He maintained it for nine years until 2003, then moved to Barcelona to open Base Elements Urban Art Gallery.
Since then, Base Elements has attracted urban artists from both Barcelona and all over the world and continues to grow in popularity!

Reviews
GREAT URBAN AND STREET ART – TRIPADVISOR
Always a must visit when in Barcelona! Really enjoy the chats with Robert the owner and his staff. Bought an awesome painting last time, reasonably priced and with a “No Worries” shipping to Germany by UPS. Looking forward to the next visit!
SUCH AN AWESOME EXPERIENCE – GOOGLE
Exceptional art gallery with an incredibly kind owner who walked us through the space, and introduced us to a few of the artists who were working. He was very friendly and excited to share art with whomever walks through the doors without judgement or pressure. Such an awesome experience and so different than your typical modern-stuffy-gallery experience.
GREAT URBAN ART, GREAT SPACE – FACEBOOK
Great urban art, and a great space. A friendly welcome, and able to have a good wander round, including where the artists had pieces in progress. Also some interesting information on the building itself.
