Robert Egert Artist Bio & Statement
I’m passionate about creating images that are suspended between their material and the imaginary world they represent. I use the imaginary space of painting to explore connections between ideas, places, and events that interest me. In the process creating images I strive to establish an internal logic so the results possess their own coherence independent of theory.
Ideas from science, medicine, and sociology often find a place in my paintings but I also firmly believe in the value of improvisation and the important role of visual judgement in creating images rather than a rigid adherence to theory or a predetermined goal.
I typically work in series, exploring themes by working directly with materials as well as through research, sketching, and model-building. The paintings on exhibition are from the Morphopolis series (2015 – 2016). This series juxtaposes wholeness with fragmentation, as well as vision with obscurity. By developing forms evocative of the human body, and then repeatedly obscuring them with additional layers results in fragmentary knowledge and interrelationships between different layers of meaning.”
Robert Egert is a NJ based visual artist who has been creating and exhibiting paintings and drawings since the nineteen eighties. His work is available via Ethan Pettit Contemporary Art in Brooklyn and Weinberger Fine Art in Kansas City.
