About The Artwork
The passion of youth as well as the universal quest for rejuvenation is the subject of this painting of Hebe, The Greek Goddess of Youth. Hebe (/ˈhiːˌbiː/) in ancient Greek mythology, was the goddess of youth. She was the daughter of Zeus and Hera and was married to Heracles. This Goddess had the power to give eternal youth, and to restore youth to mortals. Hebe was the youngest of the gods and responsible for keeping the other gods eternally young. For me, the young Greek Goddess was a perfect subject to incorporate a loose passionate application of paint that contrasts nicely with the tight dotted rendering of the mature woman. This painting captures the universal contrasts of young and passionate, verses mature and refined. Youth seeking acceptance and knowledge, verses the elderly seeking youth and rejuvenation. Hebe's Mythological power to join the old and new is tangibly represented by the intertwining of two sets of plexiglass into one 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.
