Rob Pittam's still life work explores the sculptural and emotional power of light on everyday forms. Strongly influenced by the works of Vermeer and Edward Hopper, Rob aims for a quality of stillness in the tone, texture and composition of his paintings that give a heightened status to his subjects.
His works often include fish, whose perfectly evolved forms offer colour, pattern, texture, reflectivity and three-dimensional shapes that 'sculpt' light and shade. They can also be read as metaphors for the tranquillity of a life spent beside the sea.
