Robert is a self-taught artist who uses acrylics
in a photo-realistic style. The word “dichotomy”
seems to play a large part in his paintings. At one
end of the spectrum surrealism is firmly entrenched,
where it stares at the other end, finding his love of
animals fondly displayed in his wildlife. History and
the gamut of human emotions also play a large part,
but whatever the subject matter a meticulous method
and style is evident through his rendering of minute
detail. It is this quality, combined with a singular
perspective, that gives his pieces their unique character.
Robert was born in southern Ontario then moved to more
northerly parts of the province as a boy. He feels that
this also contributes to the dualistic nature of his
art. Although he always remained in contact with his
true calling, it went largely overlooked until the year
2001 when it could no longer be ignored. Now he takes
part in numerous exhibitions and his paintings can be
found in various private collections throughout North
America. This in turn has greatly spurred on his creativity
and productivity. He hopes you too will enjoy viewing
the images of his dichotomous journey.
