Bob Rohm Bob has been drawing and painting most of his life. He was first introduced to the power of painting at the age of ten when a favorite Aunt took him to an exhibition of French Impressionists. In the years that followed his graduation from the York Academy of Arts in 1970, he entered into a career in the film and video production business. He began as a camera assistant and quickly became a director, producer, and eventually led him to stop painting altogether for nearly ten years. Born and raised in the northeast, Rohm's return to painting was triggered in early 80's when he moved to Texas; the broad vistas and bright, hard sky of the southwest opened up before him. There he found a landscape of stark simplicity and solitary beauty. Bob began to cut back his production business in order to paint part time, and in a few short years became a full time artist. Rohm's style reflects his discovery of the southwest. Each painting captures an element beyond reality. Each moves the viewer beyond the subject itself. And while not all of his paintings have a southwestern theme, they demonstrate the focus of style which evolved with his realization of the southwestern image: razor-sharp contrasts and vivid colors.
