Di seguito alcuni dei meravigliosi lavori di Robert Quint, artista dal tratto poetico e colori sognanti che richiama alla memoria ispirazioni romantiche trasformandole con uno stile del tutto postmoderno. Robert utilizza qualsiasi tecnica, mescola e crea strati di materia e linguaggi comunicativi diversi così da dare vita ad un opera che sia la cornice da attraversare verso l’infinito per nuove sorprese visive.

L’artista ha creato dei quadri che io metterei subito in ogni angolo della casa, alcuni danno l’impressione di una materia in movimento qualcosa che stia fluttuando davanti a te nell’atto della contemplazione. Trovo anche che abbia molto gusto grafico, sia nei disegni su carta che in alcune installazioni colorate che vedrete nel suo sito.

Complimenti Rob.

We see a single item appear : the protective form of the fir tree, symbol of upward motion, eternal among all, resurgence of a distant filial past. The reminiscences of a presence and an absence that are hand in glove. An immaterial force hovers over the peaks of this type of representation, very like « Kraftübertragung » : the transmission of a power that transcends death. The context is given, the form follows. This element of landscaping dissolves into multiple possibles and doesn’t fit the simple figurative definition of an exercise in style. A work of romantic inspiration in its sense and the memories that it calls up, coming from an artist who works in a completely post-modern way. He explores all techniques (painting, drawing, spray-painting, screen printing, collage, transfers, sculpture, video and even virtual animation) on all possible materials (paper, canvas, paste, glass, …..) in order to let us see a mixed, moving image, where the frame is multiplied to infinity. Landscape in Robert Quint’s work is defined by the collecting together of a number of unique works to be arranged in any way that the visual artist or the acquirer sees fit, always allowing the freedom to be refigured according to the space in which it is placed. Like nature in a state of perpual change, it offers us a living, mutating, organicist model. The artist becomes a demiurge and creates the scenery of an endless universe.
