Bob Ross Oil Painting Gallery and The Joy of Painting
 |
Bob Ross has been painting abstract oil paintings for over the last 40 years. He has been a leading advocate of abstract figurative painting in this area for the past 40 years. His currently has a show at the Gallery of the Senses featuring some of his recent works, the centerpiece is a wall-sized oil painting called "Vibrato at the Grotto". The painting's displays various shapes that turn around a realistic rendering of jazz saxophonist Eric Dolphy. Ross technique is displayed by allowing the painting to dissolve into pulsing riffs of paint, some are parallel, and some depute into squiggles. A waterfall of vertical stripes descends on the left framing an unpolished, central area. The painting is in transition, display a look of strong, rhetorical enclaves each dominating over sections of the work, you might find this piece similar in heart to Picasso's "Demoiselles d'Avignon."
You will notice that many of Ross’s paintings display diversity, but true to his trademark, Ross's signature brushwork is always apparent in his paintings. His painting called the small "Alicia 1" is a picture of a curled up nude on a low, red platform. The painting is done with multicolor brush striations, made by vigorous movement, sometimes compared to Van Gogh's, dance and link across her body. You will notice a pair of legs and a shortened sofa placed into the upper right hand portion of the canvas, redolent of the nude paintings of Philip Pearlstein.
The painting that he is most known for is the Max Beckmannish "Elena Standing," a painting done in acrylic, displays a model wearing a blue slip, which happens to be the main subject, the model is engrossed on inspecting her left toe, her leg is propped up on the arm of a sofa, in a room surrounded by representations of Ross's artworks. This painting will wow you on many levels: the exuburent brushing of the model is shown in contrast by the slashing exactness of a Japanese brush drawing of a nude on a panel upon whose wall is yet another Ross drawing. It's like taking a tour in which Ross tantalizes you with a glimpse into different openings, different possibilities of his wonderful paintings. You are even granted a quick glimpse of a profile of a bearded gent with a top hat that evokes Lautrec.
Bob Ross is best known for his development of a simple oil painting technique in a language that is easy for everyone to understand, along with a wide range of paints and brushes that are meant to enable everyone who has the desire to be able to paint. Known as a softly spoken American artist, he has encouraged millions of people to pick up a brush and paint for the first time through his popular TV series called “The Joy of Painting”.
