Robert Seabeck |
|
Seabeck's interest in light, color and sculptural form led him to begin his series on cars and trucks in the mid-1970s. The smooth rounded contours of the vehicles are not unlike those of the human figure. However, the vehicles' shiny surfaces distort reflections, shadow and color and it is these shapes and diverse hues that Seabeck seeks to capture on canvas. Seabeck pursues visual challenges in a highly focused style, which appear to depict things as they are in the manner of modern realists. He disclaims himself as a photo-realist preferring to describe himself as a photo-expressionist. Rather than painting in every detail Robert subjectively includes and excludes specific elements often reducing backgrounds to a blur of painterly strokes. From 1978 to 1992, Seabeck served as an artist-in-residence for the Wyoming Arts Council and has demonstrated painting at the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson Hole and the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody for the past eleven years. His art is displayed in a number of corporate and private collections and museums including the El Paso Museum of Art, the University of Wyoming, the Wyoming State Museum in Cheyenne, the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson Hole and the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody. |
