R.H.R.'s Art

SOVA undergraduate at Virginia Tech. On this page I am hoping to broaden the viewership of selected works that I have produced while attending school. Through my work I try to explore a variety of materials and processes. My aim as an artist is to explore everything. Using a visual or conceptual language to interpret the world we live in and myself. I believe art is about ideas and I hope to extend my own through my work. Searching for truth, not answers.

Continue Congruence 2013 acrylic on canvas

With this piece I hoped to arrive at a situation that by giving strokes enough definition and layers that an illusion of depth is created in the viewers mind. I feel that perceptions of depth can change drastically based on how we view elements of gradation, continuation, and overall saturation of the linear forms made by repeating strokes.

Release Robert H. Redfearn 2013 Acryllic on canvas

With this work in progress, I was hoping to explore how linear constructions of color and minor representation could leave more room for the viewer to let there mind wander. In doing so I’m trying to allow other people to experience the creative process, something I feel our culture is beginning to suppress by having opinions and ideas spoon feed to us in almost all aspects of our life. Secondly, I hope that by allowing a viewership to interpret any perceived meaning that this piece may invoke, opens room for debate and inquisition, creating a sense of community that harbors free thinking.

Explorer 2013 Acrylic on canvas 12”x12”

What I intended with this piece initially was an amalgamation of shapes and exploring layering qualities, but as the work progressed I decided to explore a narrative element.  With this element I feel the piece explores how we interpret visual structure and even our perception of how environments can arise.

Self-portrait. Work in progress. Trying to convey a humorous gesture that will articulate my own interpretation of what I feel an artist should go about their work and how I see myself as an artist.
