About the Item

"He [Cobble] has come to accept the fact that low production can lead to under appreciation in the short run, but he also knows that his gifts of perception and discrimination are rare, and that they can only be manifested through disciplined work. This knowledge is enough to bring him into his studio at 7 o’clock each morning for a ten to twelve hour workday. We are the beneficiaries of his faith, his patience, his insistence and persistence. In a clamoring market-driven art world, Brian Cobble’s contribution is, indeed, blessed assurance to each of us that delicacy of drawing and subtlety of sight still exist." Roger Winter, 2010 Brian Cobble, one of the most technically proficient artists working in pastel today, composes luminous urban, rural, and natural landscapes that embody the beauty of the everyday. His work focuses on the transitions between land and man inherent in urban sprawl as well as transitions from day to night and light to shadow. Cobble was awarded the Pastel Society of America Founders Award in 2012, the PSA National Arts Club Award in 2007, and the Gold Medal Award in 2003. The December 2003 issue of The Artist’s Magazine profiled Cobble’s technique of meticulously layering pastel over oil, gouache, watercolor, and acrylic; a technique that gives his work a unique richness and complexity. In recent years, Cobble’s work has been acquired by the Tyler Museum of Art, the El Paso Museum of Art, the Columbus Museum in Georgia, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Santa Fe. His work has been exhibited at The McKinney Avenue Contemporary in Dallas, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art in New Orleans, and the Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown, Ohio.
