Bob Cross - Regional Artist
Abstract painting can be an oddly reflective discipline, one which reveals something of our individual nature. I consider style, composition, surface quality and content as important components of my work - and I must admit I have a soft spot for color.
During the last recession my work transformed from hard-edged abstraction to something more primitivistic or expressive. I had been watching the show "Mad Men" and wanted to reconnect with the sensibilities of the abstract expressionist artists that I began my career working with as a master printer in New York in the '80s.
This new awareness changed the way I think about regional art. As more and more local businesses closed their doors and the mindless conformity of the big box stores gained momentum, I knew it was important to drive a stake in the ground as a regional artist. Hopefully my work captures some essence of how the seasons and sunlight, the culture and materials of this corner of the world are worth embracing.
