Great size for a cozy eating nook or an under stated statement entry table. Fabulous either way! Minor imperfection to base. Bespoke burgundy and gray tones.
Robert Wymer is a talented artist and an expert in the manufacture and restoration of antiques. He was born and raised in San Antonio. He earned a bachelor's in fine arts from the University of Texas at Austin.
Robert comes from a family of artists and is a third generation painter and sculptor. His grandfather, who amassed a huge art collection and carefully taught himself technique and color by meticulously copying the works of masters like Matisse and Rouault, inspired him to pursue creative endeavors. He frequently picked pieces by Gauguin and imitated the original artist by painting them on burlap.
Robert, who presently resides in South Austin, creates anything from abstract pattern studies and allegorical paintings to plein air paintings of Mexican and Southwest landscapes. He bases his paintings on actual objects.He uses acrylic, oil, and watercolor and paints from life, not from photographs.
Robert is a fervent supporter of Christopher Alexander's idea known as pattern language, which he coined as "a technique of defining excellent design practices or patterns of useful organization" as applied to art.
According to Robert, his art is "illustrative and graphic, but also paradoxical. It exemplifies how my mind responds to contemporary culture. It is decorative yet aspires to intellectual weightiness, he continues. In his works, he seeks to portray the tension between opposites, such as the arrogance that technology may inspire.
Robert spent time alone in a Texas Catholic monastery earlier this year, when he participated in a silent retreat and produced paintings. He finished a number of works, some of them recently shown at an exhibit in San Antonio.
