Russell Roberts grew up in NYC, he received his BFA from Vassar the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and received his MFA from Boston University. Russell is a mature abstract artist and experiments with the slowness of the mediums liquidity and transparency, its opacity and density. Robert’s plays with lines and forms, some paintings incorporate both, and he also experiments with color by the stretching of his canvases.
He received a Guggenheim Fellowship in painting in 1997, and his work had been included in group exhibitions at the Nielsen Gallery, the Danforth Museum and group exhibitions in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. In 2001, he also had a one person show at the Sherman Gallery at Boston University and at the Farrell Pollock Gallery in Brooklyn.
Robert’s latest exhibition “Pockets of Accumulation,” consists of new oil paintings and works on paper at Heskin Contemporary from October 21st - December 4th. The gallery is located at 443 West 37th street between 9th and 10th avenues and is open from Wednesday’s through Saturday’s from 12-6pm.
