Robert Wymer, an Austin-based artist deeply rooted in traditional techniques and contemporary design sensibilities, presents "Radiating Blocks," a striking geometric composition in oil on mahogany plywood. This work, framed in hand-carved mahogany, showcases Wymer's mastery of color and form. The warm palette of reds and oranges is meticulously layered, creating a dynamic interplay of shapes that radiate and dance across the surface.
The artist's rigorous preparation—employing rabbit skin glue gesso, a nod to Old Master practices—ensures a luminous and enduring quality. Influenced by his grandfather's studies of color and technique, Wymer's painting embodies a tension between the decorative and the profound. The incised lines add a tactile dimension, enhancing the sense of depth and structure within the seemingly abstract pattern.
Inspired by Christopher Alexander's "pattern language," Wymer approaches design as an organizing force, evident in the careful arrangement of geometric elements. "Radiating Blocks" reflects Wymer’s broader exploration of contrasts and contradictions within contemporary culture, inviting viewers to engage with the intellectual weight beneath its vibrant surface.
