Robert Creighton is an artist and teacher who lives in Lynden, Ontario. His paintings are contemporary investigations of the figure’s meaningfulness in the visual arts and speak of some of his own ideas about the world we live in. We are compelled to make sense of our experiences. Our lives are ongoing quests for understanding, searching for the meaningness of our experiences and hoping for meaningfulness in our lives. Art works presenting the human figure provide all of us with the opportunity to connect, very directly, our life experience with the art. We can interpret the works based on our current knowledge and relate the images to what we know and believe. Mysteries and meanings are layered within these expressive paintings. They have much to share. George Wale 1998 |
