Robert Matejcek La Junta, USA
As a multidisciplinary artist, Robert establishes a dialogue between societal norms and expectations, technological advance, and the more traditional aspects of his artistic practice. While inclined to the conceptual stylistics, Robert does not create from a desire to dictate context or meaning and allows freedom of interpretation to the viewers. On a personal level, however, his paintings are often related to anxiety and linked struggles associated with verbal communication. “Contemporary society demands bravado, and, if this trait does not come naturally, we must mimic its appearance to gain rewards”, the artist says, hoping to encourage other neurodivergent individuals to persist in their aspirations.
