In the artist’s words:
“My studio is on the Oregon coast on Cascade Head, part of the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. My subject matter is the landscape around me. My intention as an artist is to reach for the transcendent. In the biosphere reserve the transcendent is the normal, not the extraordinary. One must only come with senses wide open to experience it, to recognize nature as profound and powerful in and of itself.”
Robert will show slides and talk about the scope of this work and the influences that inform his practice.
Robert is a founder of Gamblin Artists Colors, an international brand of oil painting and printmaking materials located in Portland, Oregon. He will also be leading an art class on November 3: A Day Exploring Color. You can find out more about both events on our website: hoffmanarts.org/events/robert-gamblin-wrkshp/?
