Mullet season runs from November through January. The fishermen sell the fish eggs, or roe, to processors, who ship it to Europe and Asia. In Italy, the roe is called bottargo. In Japan, it’s called karasumi and is expensive. The boat was in the back of a pickup.

The fishermen pulled onto the beach at the Courtney Campbell Causeway in Clearwater and offloaded the boat. On rowed a semi circle while another person put out the net. The fishermen then walked one end to the other, moving the fish onto the beach. Here they sorted the fish.

ARTIST STATEMENT: Robert Neff’s contemporary art is dynamic and vibrant, and engages the senses. His photography and storytelling are the inspiration and basis for his fine art. Nature and life’s colors, tones, and shapes are transformed into mixed media art work. Design studies are used to explore geometrics, color, and patterns. As your perspective changes, so does the design. His approach changes how your vision interprets everyday experiences.

During his solo show at Art Miami’s Spectrum Miami, art lovers were drawn into his fine art work. His style drew comparisons to Vasarely and the Op Art movement. One collector from Uruguay compared his style to "Constructivism" and the great Uruguay artist, Garcia.

Robert’s fine art constructs a new perspective that tells a story you can appreciate and share. Never again will you take the world for granted nor see it in the same manner.
