Robere Lord
Robere Lord, a self taught New Orleans based artist employs multiple colors and dimensions in his work.
Using abstract mirror images on a canvas, Lord embraces color and motion in a composition that is in fact much deeper and more complex than what seems apparent at first glance.
His paintings place the viewer before a metaphorical reflection of their inner selves as each person's unique interpretation of the abstract imagery in the painting is a reflection of their own pre-existing thoughts and ideas.
Each painting presents us with multiple images and perspectives contained in a single composition. From one perspective we see certain images, while refocusing on other colors or what we originally considered negative space or looking at the same work from a different orientation reveals a whole new character contained in the same piece of work.
Every look reveals a new image, a new layer of the same composition that can be as simple or complex as the viewer’s interpretation allows.
Robere Lord's "abstract reflectism" paintings are much more about a reflection of the viewer than the mirror image on the canvas and I can expect him to continue to engage his audience in this interactive style of art in more interesting and complex ways as his abstract reflectism paintings mature in process and purpose.
