I have lately been drawn to Still Life: a genre I feel is overlooked in contemporary art compared to its elevated status in previous artistic movements. Still Life allows viewers to see themselves and their daily experiences reflected in the rendering of familiar, beloved objects. Over the past few years I have taken a hyperrealistic approach to depictions of everyday food items. Not elaborate meals whose aesthetic merit is immediately recognized, but subjects that are often imperfect or even naive\/amateurish. A reheated slice of pizza, a melting ice cream cone. Foods that connect with emotions, memory, the pulse of everyday life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"cinnamon-roll","title":"cinnamon roll","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOil on canvas.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e36x36x1\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCinnamon Roll – Robert brings warmth, indulgence, and nostalgia to life on canvas.
