Robert Gunderman
Robert Gunderman’s artistic practice is grounded in his native landscape of Southern California. Deeply informed by his experience as both a farmer and painter, his work focuses on an exploration of the microscopic and macrocosmic biomes of our universe. Holding the belief that everything is connected on a molecular level, Gunderman’s oil paintings of landscapes, weather systems, flora, and fauna, embrace duality, bifurcation, and paradox in order to capture the infinity of relationships held within a moment of time.
Robert Gunderman (USA, b. 1963) Recent solo exhibitions include Place Like You, Wilding Cran Gallery, Los Angeles, CA; The Quiet Beliefs, Diane Rosenstein Gallery, Los Angeles, CA; This End, AF Projects, Los Angeles, CA; Mollusk Half-Sisters, Rude Drawing, Los Angeles, CA, and Never Let Us Go, Desert Center, Los Angeles, CA. Group exhibitions include Ripe, Harper’s, Los Angeles, CA; LA ON FIRE curated by Michael Slenske, Wilding Cran Gallery, Los Angeles, CA, and Between Worlds, Edward Cella, Los Angeles, CA.
