Welcome to
Rob Redding's art statement and
biography ...
Artist's Statement...
Robert "Rob" Redding Jr.'s thoughts
about Smear Painting: "Like life Smear
Painting blends two or more worlds
together. No matter how perfect we try
to be, no matter how perfect we want
others to be, no matter what type of
utopia we try to create on earth the
fact is our world - just like colors on
a canvas - will always collide in
arresting and sometimes adventitious
ways. No other form demonstrates that
collision like Smear Painting."
Artist's biography...
Rob Redding, a
35-year-old Atlantan, began his
professional art career doing imitations
of Jackson Pollock at age 12. In 2000,
he branched into his own artistic style
of "Smear Painting" - a vexing mix of
colors and psychedelic backgrounds. "It
is always an event anytime Rob Redding's
smear paintings are featured," wrote
John Blee, a respected critic and
artist. Blee's review came after Redding
landed among the top 10 on respected art
collector Philip Barlow's "Pick List." His is works have also been included in
the independent film "Art
House."
Redding is also an author,
journalist and nationally syndicated
radio host. He has been been featured in
Upscale magazine; won an ADDY award;
named one of “The 100 Most Important
Radio Talk Hosts in America” by Talkers
magazine; profiled as an “Industry
Leader” in radio by Allaccess.com; and
has received a proclamation from the
Atlanta City Council for his work. His
award-winning Web site, ReddingNewsReview.com, is a leading
source for black news on the Internet.
He has won an award from the Associated
Press and three consecutive Black Web
Awards.
His art work can be found
consistently at The Warehouse in
Washington, D.C. and The Gallery in
Melbourne Fla. View
