"SELEC-TROSPECTIVE IN PROGRESS"
Artist, Robert G. Bertone Presents selected work from the past 20 years.. Prelude to the next 20.
Bertone's synergy with both color and composition, combined with a sophisticated sense of humor, translates into bright, energetic, joyful images. that automatically catapults one into a state of sheer euphoria.
"I am primarily a self taught artist and have been painting since the age of five, a colorist at heart. My work can be best described as ABSTRACT - FIGURATIVE - POP"
"BRIGHT COLORS may be the first impressions a viewer may see; but SHAPE, FORM and COMPOSITION are equally important in my work."
"I paint mostly with oils on large linen or cotton canvases, but have also hand pulled ultra limited edition Serigraphs, and recently began producing high quality Giclée prints from many of my paintings. Exploring my subconscious, I compose my thoughts into images and ideas that are then translated into my work. My ideas change with my moods, which take me in new directions. Many of my paintings become whimsical interpretations, or commentaries of my life's experiences. In my figurative work, I explore the soft beauty of the female form by working with live nude studies. I then incorporate the drawings into fluid compositions, adding layers of overlapping colors. The beauty of the female form is suggestive throughout many of my paintings, including my less figurative work."
