Visionary presents a selection of still life imagery Maxwell created in his studio, highlighting his tendency to isolate elements from nature. It also shows his ability to harness light, utilize texture and emphasize shape and form.
About the Artist:
For much of his career, Robert Maxwell has used figurative studies and portraiture to convey his unique vision. Presenting over a hundred images, Visionary encompasses a full range of the artist’s practice, including early works exploring his surroundings and family life —produced while living in Paris - to the refined fashion, beauty and celebrity portraiture which has become his signature.
“I’m totally interested in beauty, but I’m not into forced beauty...
And I think to truly do good work you just have to be honest about it.”
