Robert Montgomery (born July 7, 1972) is a Scottish poet, artist, and sculptor based in London, known for creating site-specific installations that combine light and text.

Montgomery’s work is influenced by a "melancholic post-Situationist" tradition, and he often uses public spaces to create art that challenges conventional perceptions.

Andrew Nairne (then Visual Director at the Scottish Arts Council) supported the aspiring artists, and the project proceeded with the help of the grant.

[5] Initially, Montgomery wrote poems on buses and walls with spray paint, aiming to emulate graffiti artists who made the city a "free space of diverse voices.

[citation needed] He has exhibited in Europe and Asia, including outdoor light installations at the former US Air Force base at Tempelhof.

Montgomery's initial inspirations included East London graffiti artists, the poetry of Philip Larkin, the philosophy of Guy Debord, and the French student protesters of the May 1968.

His work is part of the permanent collections at the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston Texas[11] and the Anna Jill Lupertz Gallery in Berlin.
