About the Item
This painting features vibrant hues of blue, green, pink, yellow, and red.
Robert Hightower is inspired by the work of Giotto, Hieronymus Bosch, Jean-François Millet, Roger Brown, Howard Arkley and Julian Opie.
Atlanta native, Robert Hightower’s latest body of work “Public Food,” is a quasi-narrative body of work that begins in medias res (Latin term meaning ‘into the middle of things,’) prodding at the future and stability of the industrialized world’s food markets and supply chains that we completely rely on for sustenance. The painting’s compositions are compressed & flattened, having no focal point. Together they emote an overwhelming, over-stimulated, and disorienting experience of grocery shopping, which, for Robert, brings to light many questions:
“Where does all of this food come from?” Robert asks. “Who are the people working the land and who are the people reaping the benefits? What is industrial farming and what are feedlots? What are growth hormones, GMOs and Roundup and what are their lasting effects on consumers and the land? What does ‘organic’ mean? The branding, stickers, plastic wrap and marketing tell a story…but for what purpose and is it necessary?”
“How does all of this food get shipped and distributed from its origin to the market shelf? We’ve all experienced recent supply chain disruptions and impacts, what happens if the supply chains completely break long term?”
Robert’s paintings ask if this system as a whole is sustainable? Can we safely provide food for the eight billion people alive today and into the future?
Robert received a BFA in sculpture from the University of Georgia. Upon graduation, he moved to New York City and participated in The Bronx Museum of the Art’s AIM Fellowship (Artist In the Marketplace). He currently lives and works in Atlanta.
