Robert Newell
Biography
My work in painting and drawing has passed through certain distinct phases, now predominantly rocks and clouds in Wales. These subjects involve the adventures of matter in formative and destructive processes, mutations of structure and pattern, tensions between order and chaos, all of this being worked on with the aim to produce a rhythmic organization of detail and mass that reflects the interplay of physical forces over time. In relation to varying conditions of light and atmosphere, these visual elements express a certain character that contributes to the totality of the landscape’s aesthetic power.
