Rob

Through my use of bright color and strange elongated and abstracted forms, figures, and faces I am trying to represent the oddity of interaction in physical terms. In my concentration I explore the relationships people have with family, ones self, society, and in marriage.

 * //The Central Idea for my concentration is the absurdity of human relationships.

In my work there are four main categories I explore, relationships with family, ones self, society and marriage. In addition my concentration moved as time went on. At the beginning my pieces were planned and controlled, as my work developed my style became more free and loose. As time progressed, my figures and forms also became more abstracted, this in culmination with vibrant colors became my way of expressing the spontaneity and absurdity of human interaction. My style is one that reflects a more haphazard mentality similar to that of Klee, reacting to whatever I saw on the canvas the day I was painting it.// ||  || Media:Acrylic on Canvas size: 60"x 100" || Media: Mixed Media on Canson Size: 12"x17" || Media: Acrylic and Ink on Canvas Size: 16"x 13" || Media: Acrylic on Canvas Size: 16"x 13" || Media: Tempera and Acrylic on Canvas Size: 18" x 24" ||
