ARTIST STATEMENT : ROBERT LANGE

There are no ordinary moments.

I’ve come to understand that painting is a basic medium, all you need are canvases, paint and brushes; with these minimal means you can achieve a maximum effect.  As a painter you decide what effect you want to have and for me, I believe there is providence in sharing optimism through art.  I paint simple, yet heightened moments from the memories of my life.  These memories, so picturesque and free from clutter, when made into paintings create a special kind of history, a visual journal of not only that specific moment but also what that moment could be.
