About The Artwork
New life for an old painting. In 1967, Andy Warhol published a series of screenprints of Marilyn Monroe. He used the same publicity still of the actress that he had previously used for dozens of paintings. Each image was printed from five screens: one that carried the photographic image and four for different areas of color, sometimes printed off-register. In 1985 I painted a tribute to Warhol's Marilyn series on the front and back of one sheet of 36"x36" plexiglass. In the 80's I was doing a series of figurative pixelated paintings, and my interpretation of Warhol's Marilyn was one of them. Recently I decided to update my 1985 painting of Marilyn Monroe. I attached two 24"x32" sheets of plexiglass to the old painting and added thousands of dots. The old painting served as a useful underpainting for my updated painting.

Robert Shirk's figurative paintings are created on multiple sheets of layered plexiglass. Each sheet of clear plexiglass contains a part of the final image. The effect creates a 3 dimensional kinetic painting that moves and changes as the viewer’s perspective changes. He's been influenced by the 1960’s optical and kinetic art of Israeli artist Yaacov Agam. Also the French Pointillist painters of the 1880’s, American photorealist painter Chuck Close, and the dramatic lighting of Dutch master Rembrandt van Ryan. Mr. Shirk creates 3 dimensional kinetic paintings of drama, beauty and sensuality. Paintings that are fun to view with unexpected surprises. He loves watching the dance and delight of the viewers eyes wile discovering the movement, harmony and depth created by layer upon layer of images in his paintings.
