ABOUT ROB
|
Rob (who HATES writing in 3rd person) is in a transitional and possibly transformational year in his art career. After almost 15 years of full-time painting, a studio fire all but destroyed his Toronto studio and his complete inventory of artworks. (YIKES!) But with new beginnings, come new experiments, new artworks and a fresh start.
To date, Rob has completed over 1300 works of art and has shown in over 125 juried & solo exhibitions at numerous galleries and has participated in The Toronto International Art Fair, The Artist Project and in exhibitions in Kelowna BC and in the USA. Rob is currently represented in a few Ontario galleries, and in a few USA galleries as well. Rob is thrilled to have his art in the permanent City of Toronto’s Art Collection, and in the private collections of several Mayors, Alex Lifeson, Stuart McLean & Ann Marie MacDonald. You will find his art and his commissions in many private collections all over the world. Rob has been profiled in Argyle Magazine, Neighborhood Living Magazine, The Society for Commercial Archeology, Spacing Magazine and many others. You can also currently find Rob’s merchandise at several Ontario retailers. Rob's acrylic paintings are intentionally upbeat and humourous. His vintage-inspired work is instantly identifiable! It has a clever approach to pop culture that often merges political topics within whimsical compositions. |
