| Bob Dornberg artist profile |
|
 I painted
with my dad and twin brother, starting around age
six. I was inspired by Mr Rempel at Downey High School to
explore juxtaposition and rhythm. I was encouraged
by Mr Elgart and Mr Amato at UCLA to be original, try
anything, and turn out lots of work. I have always studied the elements that make
a painting great. These include the relation of
objects, shapes, lines and spaces to each other, and the
juxtaposition toward the surface and boundaries.
They also include the relation of colors, no matter if
pretty or ugly, but certainly a relation that is new,
comfortable, or inspiring.
Rhythm, which is
repetition of line, shape and color, and is established
in the painting, is also important. It includes
balance, which is comfort, or if uncomfortable, at least
with justification so as not to be unfinished, or a
mistake. The studies of these elements goes on
whenever a painting is reviewed, whether one by a
traditional master, or one in a magazine or on the
Web. I particularly study my own paintings, to learn and progress, free to make corrections. I choose the subjects of my paintings from slices of life around me, tailored by experience and imagination. But these slices, at all costs, must remain subservient to the elements. |
