Robert Zurer was born in New York City in 1948. He grew up in Greenwich Village. His playground was Washington Square Park. His friends were the sons and daughters of parents active in the creative community which existed in Greenwich Village at the time. He started drawing in early childhood. He and his father played a game where his father scribbled some lines on paper and asked him to make a drawing from them. This kind of automatic drawing has continued to this day to inform his paintings.
In 2018, in order to be able to paint full time, He quit his day job, leased his loft in Brooklyn and moved to Philadelphia.
His work has been exhibited in numerous shows in and around New York. His work has also been shown in Philadelphia, Boston, Nashville, New Haven, Detroit, Chicago, Los Angeles, Grand Rapids and Edinburgh, Scotland.
