FASO Collector Recommends: Robin Wessman
Biography
Robin Wessman was born in Boston and is a life-long resident of Massachusetts. He earned a Master of Fine Arts degree with a major in painting from Ohio University and a Bachelor of Fine Arts & Education degree from the University of Massachusetts, North Dartmouth. He creates paintings of ordinary objects and places that offer visual stories about the beauty of nature and the interactions of people with each other and their surroundings. As a resident of Cape Cod he is surrounded by the natural beauty of the Cape Cod National Seashore and the energy of creative people who make Cape Cod their home. He employs the indirect method of painting which begins with sketches and studies from life, followed by a combination of direct paint application and layers of transparent paint. One constant in all his work is the exploration of light and how it affects form and creates atmosphere. He currently is a member of the teaching staff at Cape Cod Art Center in Barnstable, MA. His work is represented by several galleries and may be found in private collections throughout the US and internationally.
Statement
As a classically trained contemporary realist painter my work is playful, contemplative, and at times a bit surreal, although not usually all at once, but sometimes. My paintings are a combination of observation, imagination, experience and a continuous drive to develop my skills. I paint objects or scenes that have the potential to go beyond the obvious and inspire viewers to see more than an accurate depiction of the subject. I enjoy the challenge of examining my subjects more closely through the process of painting and discovering new ways to express my ideas. Sometimes I paint scenes in nature that I find beautiful and inspiring, other times I paint to express emotions or ideas that move me in some way. It could be the beauty of the Cape Cod National Seashore where I live or an experience that provokes thought or emotion. Regardless of subject, I paint what inspires me. My desire to push technical craftsmanship along with emotion and implied narrative is what excites me as a painter. My approach with every painting is to enjoy and learn from the process every time I paint. Sharing the results of my experience with each painting is also part of the process, as I believe we are always looking for ways to connect with others. Seizing the viewer’s attention long enough to make some connection that evokes emotion, provokes thoughts, or recalls memories helps keep us engaged.
