Loews Don CeSar Hotel from Old Florida PHOTOGRAPHY BY ROBERT NEFF
Jan 2016 — Little McPherson Bayou on St Pete Beach, Florida is as rustic as it comes. This is old Florida and features boat slips across from a tranquil rookery. Here, pelicans, egrets, herons, anhingas nest on the mangroves. This area along the boat slips also provide a picturesque view of the Loews Don CeSar Hotel, or as the locals call it, The "Pink Palace." Do you see the scaffolding on the northwest spire. This is a reminder that even old Florida needs a touchup here and there.

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.
