Artist Statement:
There is great beauty in the
environments we create around
ourselves. We spend our lives
cocooned in metal, wood,
stone, and glass. These
materials take on a life of
their own. Anyone that will
but take the time to stop and
observe can see it. Our
cities and towns have a music
and motion. A rhythm and
energy that ultimately comes
from within us. I seek to
portray this spirit. To show
the viewer that we are not
separate from our creations
and the larger world. We are
one with them. Inseparable.

| Your Personal Biography |
Robert L. Reeves is a Waterloo native and graduate of the University of Northern Iowa. He currently calls Des Moines, Iowa his home.
His art startles the eye with its vibrant colour, aggressive yet controlled brush strokes and unrefined style.
His paintings show us shuffling cars, bustling people, brilliant highlights and deep shadows. He uses pure colors, wide brushes, and aggressive strokes to create stark, colorful portraits of very specific moments in our everyday (and night) lives.
He dreams of traveling to, and painting every major city in the world; his two sons in tow... |
