About the Item

Artwork size: 32x32 inches
Frame size: 36x36x3 inches

The Smokes consist of images that are created by capturing smoke on paper as evidence
of a transformation and preservation of the ephemeral. During the process, credit cards, gift
cards, photos, and even slides of the artists’ artwork are burned to remove their growing
presence in daily life, and explore the idea of transformation.
In 2014, Rob was awarded the John Ringling Towers Visual Artist Grant by the Arts and
Cultural Alliance of Sarasota. In 2009, he was awarded a fellowship at the Virginia
Center for Creative Arts. In 2007, he was awarded a Virginia Museum of Fine Arts
Professional Artist Fellowship, received an Honorable Mention from the Loyola Works on
Paper Exhibition at Loyola University and was the recipient of a Purchase Award at the
31st Bradley International Print & Drawing Exhibition. In 2006, Rob was awarded the
Drawing Award at the Peninsula Fine Art Center Biennial.
Rob has been featured in more than 50 articles in publications, and blogs, including New
American Paintings, the Huffington Post UK, Daily Mail UK, Installation Magazine, and
Studio Visit (volumes 1, 4, 6 and 8). Lark Books featured a Smoke and a Struggle in the
books: Skulls in 2008, 500 Ceramic Sculptures in 2009, and Ceramic Sculptures in 2011. His
collections include: The Fralin Museum of Art at the University of Virginia (December,
2013), Ripley’s Believe It Or Not, Orlando, FL, St. Regis in Washington DC, and Four
Seasons Hotel in Houston, Texas.
In 2010, Rob was awarded four residencies, two from the Virginia Center for Creative
Arts, Amherst, Virginia and Moulin à Nef in Auvillar, France and Ragdale Foundation. In
2015, Rob will be a resident at the Hermitage Artist Retreat in Englewood, Florida.
