Bio:
—Robert Hardgrave has inhabited the city of Seattle, WA for the past 16 years. He adores coffee, delicious breakfasts, and listening to metal. He spends his days, adorned with headphones, drawing and painting detailed creatures and environments.
Statement: 2008:
My goal as a painter is to produce phantasmagoric figures, existing in painterly environments, built from basic, expressive mark making and complex shapes, organically constructed, to portray ideas about reincarnation and the richness of life after death. As a result from being a person living a vibrant life with the gift of an organ transplant, my work chronicles this ongoing experience with it’s many lessons and limitations, often times unbeknownst to me until later reflection. When a new work is begun there is never an overall plan or formula, but by allowing materials to do what they do, constant practice of hand eye coordination and a dedication to uncovering something new, my painting process unfolds in an exciting and surprising manner.
