| Taking inspiration from architecture, history, and nature, as well as depicting highly stylized conceptual characters, Rob Brownlee-Tomasso creates art with imagination. His paintings are texture stucies done in mixed media, usually on irregularly shaped canvases and sometimes as multiple canvas installations. The acrylic medium or gesso is applied with a mixture of sand, earth, or other materials to achieve a coarse surface. It is common for earth to be taken from a specific location that is the subject matter of that particular work. The main goals of his artistic expression are to find creative and dramatic subject matter that can work in conjunction w ith richly textured surfaces, and to complete simple compos itions that are contrasted by these complex textures. The subject matter is generally a loose interpretation of a specific concept or theme, using simple palettes, often earthtones. Rob Brownlee-Tomasso has participated in group and solo Maryland exhibitions in Annapolis, Baltimore, Steventsville, Easton and Denton, and his work resides in several private collections. |
