Robert Burt Bio
Abandoned adobe churches, deserted city streets from small towns in
Mexico and South America - long, rolling, country roads disappearing into
the distance - each scene conveying a sense of peace and solitude, while at
the same time, Robert Burt's bold use of color and strong compositional
elements convey the intense beauty he sees in the world around him.
Burt's paintings invite the viewer on a journey to explore a world that
lies far from the hustle of everyday life.
A personal journey, beginning at childhood, has taken Robert from summer
classes at the Art Students League of New York in Woodstock, to working
in batik, an art form which originated in Southeast Asia, to the
formation of two galleries and finally to a move to Santa Fe, New
Mexico."I always loved the drama of the Southwest," Burt explains.
"I chose
Santa Fe because I wanted to be among the artists and galleries here,
and because of the convergence of the Hispanic, Indian, and cowboy
cultures. I love to paint the adobe architecture set along the small,
winding roads around Santa Fe and throughout New Mexico." Burt has traveled extensively and each country has infiltrated his
artwork by influencing his use of color, light and shadow, and movement.
Robert uses a modernist approach to architecture that brings a feeling
of movement and life into his paintings. He is trying to portray a sense
that less is more by simplifying detail with strong composition and good
color, striving to entertain the viewers eye and mind.
