The Desperado and the Lawman Painting

Robert P. “Bob” Brodesky, an artist based in the Boston-area, has been painting all his life. He specializes in boldly-colored, figurative painting in an expressionistic style, rendered in oils and pastels on canvas, paper, and wood. Brodesky’s work features human figures captured in a particular instant, a pivotal moment when something changes. The viewer is invited to participate, enter the moment, and offer his or her own take on the situation and where it might lead. His style--expressive and gestural--focuses on the dynamics of human relationships, and is drawn from his own personal experience. Brodesky, who grew up in New York, studied art at the Brooklyn Museum Art School and the Maryland Institute of Art, and earned an MA at the University of Pennsylvania. He has participated in solo exhibitions and group shows in Colorado, where he lived prior to settling in Boston, and his work is included in corporate and private collections across the country. “My paintings, when finished, are always a surprise to me and often very different from my original idea.” Bob Brodesky
