Deconstructed

Deconstructed

By Robert McCauley

Located in Bozeman, MT

This whimsically tall painting is a portrait of a black bear. There is a golden blue sky with clouds behind the bear's head. "Deconstructed" is hand written on the light gold frame. The painting is done in oils, and the frame is included with the painting. Biography Robert McCauley was born and raised in Mt. Vernon, Washington.

His distinctive animals manage to seem literal and symbolic at the same time, the viewer is suspended between these realms. Wild Life "We are losing our relationship with Nature. I aspire to re-tether some of the connections." -Robert McCauley Robert McCauley is an important 21st century American artist, and history will remember him as such. But in order to understand why, we first must consider where he is from and how he got here. A little less than a decade ago, McCauley was featured at a major exhibition in Chicago and he was quoted as saying then, "I think you spend all your life trying to find the right form for the content you have within you." Urban, Midwestern visitors who viewed the show were enthralled. Make no mistake about the source of McCauley's inner content: He is a product of America's greatest forest-the mighty aboriginal stands of fir, spruce, cedar and redwoods growing in the Pacific Northwest. Those skyscraping canopies once reservoired a breathtaking array of ecological richness and diversity, from streams choked with spawning salmon to massive grizzliesl wapiti and deer haunting the understories, raptors screeching through the misty, arboreal heavens, and the loom of an ever-present ocean. As the totem poles and amulets of native peoples attest, the life forces of nature there are planted indelibly into the human psyche. Robert McCauley's too. When I think of where McCauley fits into American art, as a contemporary painter, sculptor and naturalistic interpreter, I place him in the same philosophical tribe as Walton Ford, Alexis Rockman, Annie Coe...
