Welcome friends, to my on line gallery! If you haven’t already done so (per my design) I would like to encourage  each of you to view the subtle transformations taking place above, those that reveal three of my sculptural works entirely in the round  just as they were meant to be observed live and in three dimensional space. Furthermore, I would hope that you would consider the titles, as they perform as part of the works of art, and consider the written content as it is meant to further ones relationship with the works displayed within these visual galleries! All of which point to the development and theme of my up and coming book project. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST AND PATIENCE!.

Sincerely,

Robert L. Landry of Landry Fine Art Studios!

Artist’s Statement

What I offer here is a brief summation, an impression of my life long love affair with Fine Art and the integrity I believe I bestow upon its altar. This is an affair that started with my earliest sand box adventures, before my intuitions became threatened by the demands of controling forces.

Having pursued an undergraduate and graduate degree in Fine Art, and having made a serious practice out of creating art ever since, means that my work as an artist has always played a serious role in the development of my conscious awareness and is therefore synonymous with its maturity and evolution. Having instructed art for a period, has afforded me the opportunity to pursue the act of creating art as a form of self inner-disciplinary practice, and the opportunity to mentor others in our community through the benefits of this practice.

A practice that has provided me with the opportunity to treat the performance value of participating in the creative process as a work of art in and of its self, defining the finished product, as merely the legacy of the journey that provides the opportunity for further reflection, contemplation and community discourse.

What I have discovered, is that by emphasizing an intuitive approach to the creative process, we can transform each creative journey into a vehicle through which we can personally learn and grow from, allowing each journey the opportunity to shape the way we view the world and conduct ourselves within it. My own creative experiences have taught me, that by focusing on my intuitive responses, they naturally reveal those values inherent to my intuitive nature, values that have a way of influencing my capacity to respond objectively (selflessly) to my surroundings.

This approach to the creative process allows my creative efforts to explore and develop my own authenticity without bias, thus it in-hanses my ability to utilize it as a means of penetrating and expressing what it means to be human from either an egoic or an intuitive perspective. Either way, I get the opportunity to openly explore, and therefore express my own authentic relationship with both of these forces: One that seeks to discover the objective truth, while the other (by its very nature) strives to manipulate it for its own subjective benefit.

By having chosen the rout of the former, what you see before you are expressions that I have pursued through an intuitively playful approach to the creative process; expressions that arose from my conscious effort to mentally ride the spontaneity of the improvisational element. This is where the creative process naturally draws out my ability to creatively synthesize my decisions directly from my own intuitive responses as opposed to those of my subjective ego driven dictations. Subsequently, it is my hope that these works manage to inspire within others –profoundly intuitive journeys of their own!

Hence, I encourage my viewers to take note of my titles, for they have a way of pointing one towards the depth of their intuitively inspired intent.
