Rob Wynne is a conceptual artist who collects images and phrases appropriated from classic literature to pop culture. From Jean Genet’s stage directions to Maria Callas’ Master Class quotations, Wynne captures the words that take one from technique to art, that space in between, where ideas flourish and inspire the mind and body. The images are elegant, nostalgic and provocative. As a conceptual artist, his work takes many forms from hand-poured, mirrored glass to screen-printed, embroidered canvas, to bronze and sewn beads on vellum. Each work is a unique exploration of material and idea. We are simultaneously transfixed by the object and transported to an alternate, poetic universe.
