Artist Statement for Robert Szot
|
|
|
I strive to follow a certain historical lineage in my work, always ignoring the desires to capture opinion and praise for creating something entirely unexplored. I choose, rather, to respond to unanswered questions relevant painters have left untouched in their own work. Painting is an old form of expression but hardly an antiquated discipline. Studying this history, parallel to my efforts in being honest with my personality and timeline, allows me to reach others while satisfying my own individual needs. This practice is central to creating paintings that are engaging yet remain quietly personal.
These paintings represent my abandonment of any economy of materials or movements. They stand firmly against immediate satisfaction of line or color field. Scale and perspective submit to the dialogue between sweeping gesture and dexterous detail – often absorbing each other as they work toward inevitable cohesion.
Born in 1976 and raised in Texas, Robert Szot currently resides and works in Brooklyn.
He earned a degree in Journalism in 1998 and has had no formal art education.
