RYOGBIV Geo Spheres Mixed Media Design Study by Robert Neff
CONTEMPORARY ART FOR SPECTRUM MIAMI INTERNATIONAL ART SHOW, DEC 2-6, 2015 — BOOTH S825
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.
Robert Neff is an award winning photographer. He specializes in weather, international events, sports (Rugby and Grand Prix), NASA, lifestyle, boats and sailing, nature, and wildlife.
The Geo Sphere is based on a photograph of a jade Chinese horse sculpture. I was invited to preview the horse at an exclusive fine art gallery in Dallas, Texas. Within my photograph I was inspired by the pattern made by the carved jade. I used the pattern to create a geometric design that became the DNA for the sphere. From a distance, the sphere looks perfectly round. Move closer and the sphere reveals ridges made by the pattern. Move inward and see the design change from steps to an elongated step and back to a step, but angle has changed to follow the sphere. Look up to see concentric circles embedded in the design. Look to the middle and see a dark area. Move back and the sphere reveals a dark sloping curve.
One note, the Chinese horse provided the inspiration for the design and is not visible.
ABOUT ROYGBIV GEO SPHERES: The mixed media design is based Robert Neff's photograph of a Chinese horse. The horse's patterns provided the inspiration to move the surface color into a geometric pattern. This DNA is the basis for the sphere. ROYGBIV, the colors of the light spectrum, provide a dynamic design series in large format. Additional color studies are planned for the Geo Spheres. All works are 40x40 unless otherwise specified. Limited Edition — 100.
For SPECTRUM Miami, the ROYGBIV GEO Spheres and Designs use the ROYGBIV spectrum but Yellow and Orange are swapped with both traditional Indigo and Violet. This is labeled RYOGBIV. This can be used to test viewer’s science knowledge. The ROYGBIV will be a design series available in the future.
For SPECTRUM Miami, ROYGBIV Geo Spheres "Red on White" and "White on White" will be available. Orders may be placed for Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet, or Black on White and Black on Black.
All fine art works are based upon Robert Neff's photography. Each study provides a clean and refreshing design.
