About the Item
Descend, Original Signed Contemporary Landscape Painting
30" x 20" x 2" (HxWxD) Acrylic on Canvas
Hand-signed by the artist.
Artist Robert Crooker captures the sublime in this almost otherworldly painting of a cavernous sinkhole. A small figure can be seen descending through the expansive depth of the natural formation, their silhouette juxtaposed against a misty white backdrop. The composition features a vignette of darkness, broken up by the beam of sunlight able to pour down through the open hole, illuminating mossy green rocks.
Artist Commentary:
This is a pretty massive sink hole which is massively impressive so I tried to recreate the photograph of it onto canvas. I'm pretty happy!
Artist Biography:
Robert Crooker was born in Massachusetts in 1951. A life long Red Sox fan, he saw the likes of Frank Malzone, Yaz, George Scott, Rico, Jim Lonborg all play in years gone by. He has been married for over 27 years with 4 children, and 2 grandchildren. In the Mid-1970’s, Robert started collecting Vintage Disney Collectibles dated from the 1930’s and 40’s. His passion for collecting grew so rapidly that in the 1980’s it became a business. He bought and sold “DISNEYANA” worldwide, realizing thousands of dollars for single pieces of rare highly sought after Disney merchandise. Robert is the leading world expert on the values of these collectibles. As an adventure in American art, these rarities were created during a time when toy manufacturers had art departments employed with many artists that created some of the most beautiful children’s toys ever created. While running Disneyana – Mouse Man Ink business, Robert was painting acrylic on canvas. After EBAY came along and stole the show Robert went on a 20 year hiatus from collecting and painting. Upon his return to the painting studio, Robert was amazed to find that the time and distance actually sharpened his skills and improved his confidence.
