About The Artwork
THE AMERICANISATION OF GUSTAVE’S PARIS by Robert Vanderhorst One of the most Western of exports — American football — has found its way into the heart of European culture, the city of Paris. A huddle of American football players appears in a humorous adaptation of the 1876 painting Paris Street: A Rainy Day, by French Impressionist Gustave Caillebotte (1848 -1894). All the figures are sporting shoulder and thigh padding, suggesting that in our time, we dress to protect ourselves, literally and metaphorically, from the impact of new societal pressures and the blows of an aggressive world around us.

Surrealist Painter Exact prices available upon request - contact the artist: r.vanderhorst@sympatico.ca The paintings of Robert Vanderhorst envision a world where psychological, social and material processes are intimately entwined. While figurative, his work typically rejects static pictorial spaces and linear narratives. Instead, a cumulative, serial or recombinant approach is evident in much of his work. The resulting imagery is alternately familiar and estranged, direct and mediated, traditional and unconventional. At play are subjects that are suspended in an imaginary environment that creates an implicit tension in the painting. Vanderhorst's environments are both transformative and in the process of transformation "” perpetually perched on the edge of becoming something else.
