About The Artwork

I made the design for the skateboard. Signed, titled, and dated (12-10-16) on the reverse. Personal seal on right. I re-create what I see and paint artwork with a humane concern that connects Art with humanity. I begin to paint in slashing fast brushstrokes and pallet knife techniques using dark heavy colors to bright, clear, dazzling colors. It is the feelings and the colors that provide the essence of my images. I strive to create paintings with vibrant colors, intense marks, brushwork, line, composition, emotions, and energy. My paintings absorb light which interacts with the pigments and then caroms off the canvas displaying the feelings invested in the artworks. The colors, direction, and angles of paint work to create the expressive content. I chose to paint portraits, but I needed to figure out who I wanted to work on. I decided against celebrities, because I didn't want to stand on the shoulders of others. I came up with two conditions: 1) The person had to be friendly. The girl had to be willing to chat and talk; and 2) the woman had to be beautiful. I needed a model who was pleasant to look at for several weeks as I did the painting. This particular painting really gave me pleasure as I did the freehand drawing. I looked at a picture of her, but I also went back and forth looking at other portraits of the girl. Then after I finished the drawing I did the first coat of thin paint known as a wash. When this was dry I went back and did the second or third coat in thick rich paint. In terms of preparations, I like to determine the size of the painting. Then I cut wood to make stretcher bars. (For this particular painting a friend from graduate school gave me an old painting.) Since the canvas had acrylic paint on it, I had to cover it with a coat of white gesso. When that was dry I did the drawing.

If you would like to commission a painting, contact Robert S. Lee at robertsleeart@gmail.com. It was at an early age that Robert Lee developed a love for art. As a child he found one of his father's books on drawing and he knew what he wanted to do with his life. It was at this point that he started drawing. However his focus changed as he prepared for academia at the University of California at San Diego. He put aside his art for a more promising future in math and science. Things came to a head at the end of his junior year when he abruptly changed his major to Visual Arts. After graduating Lee floated around doing various jobs that were totally unrelated to art. Later he decided to take architecture classes and then move on to graduate school at California State University, Los Angeles where he received an MFA in Fine Art with a focus on painting and drawing. When given the opportunity he teaches art as a professor. Lee has won several awards in painting both locally as well as abroad. He is constantly thinking of questions and tackling difficult issues in contemporary art and design. He regularly meets with professional artists to talk about creative practices and sources of inspiration. He has exhibited around the world, including Canada, France, South Korea, and the United States.
