Robin Bright
Robin Bright, who was
born in New York City in 1934 and received his
education in New Mexico, Munich, and Paris (the Sorbonne), is a
thinking
man with a world-class background. “If I went blind, I’d
write,” he says.
However, the artist describes himself as “utterly visual,”
a reference to
what he characterizes as the humorless, theory-driven art espoused
by
university academics.
Despite
critical acclaim over the years, support of discriminating
collectors, and a sterling reputation, Bright exhibits infrequently.
His
last major exhibitions – a stunning retrospective at the Boehm
Galley
(Palomar College, San Marcos) in 2005 that encompassed works dating
from
1973 to 2004, and an exhibition at the Taylor Library, also in 2005
–
offered inspiring looks at the significance and consistency of his
artistry. Bright’s art can be found in a number of important
public and
private collections, including the Museum of Contemporary Art, San
Diego;
Santa Fe Museum of Art, Santa Fe, NM; the Johnson & Johnson
Corporate
Collection, New Brunswick, NJ; the Mason Phelps Collection, San
Diego; and
others.
