Robert Bell

Robert Bell’s work is about balance between structure and chaos. The compositions that attain this balance are those that come from a frantic emotional state, in which colors and feelings push themselves outward, yet are tamed by the structure and organization of a grid pattern. As a result, each work is a single, sometimes violent or outrageous emotional outburst portrayed in an abstract visual form that reaches the balance of a perfect cathartic moment. He often repeats the same shape in his work, but leaves its meaning open to interpretation. Robert Bell’s work is located in numerous private collections in the U.S.
