Robert Rost

schilderen

Using his painting skills, gathered over the many years in figurative painting, Rost explores the similarities between painting and the construction of crowds. From a distance the specator might perceive an image of a crowd; while approaching the canvas this image will fall apart into sole expressive paintstrokes which release an abstract story on its own. These paintings can be abstract and figurative at the same time. After years of figurative painting, Rost has found a way to release himself from imagery painting while keeping it's set of rules intact.
