Robert Perkins is a San Francisco based artist with ties to Coronado and Healdsburg Ca. Primarily working with oil paint for the last thirty five years, this show brings the addition of watercolor to his portfolio. As means of a study and experimentation to his larger paintings. ‘The approach and thought process in working with these two mediums, comes from opposite directions. Oil is forgiving and fluid, whereas watercolor demands patience. Working from light to dark. Less is often better.’ The subject matter of these abstract paintings has inspirations of the figure and landscape to a blend of an organic cubist. Focusing on layers and light sources. Inspiration to this style is rooted in multiple opportunities and experiences with fellow artists and heroes.

‘I was fortunate to work as an artist assistant and printmaker with some prestigious art houses in California. Having worked firsthand and side by side some of the great contemporaries, has enhanced and focused my drive and respect for painting. Always learning, but trusting in my abilities and style’
