BOB HORNER ART - review







Si tuviera que elegir una palabra para describir el trabajo de este artista de Ohio, sería IMPACTANTE. Aunque agregaría que tiene una increíble técnica e inventiva, no dejo de elegir el primer adjetivo como característico porque fue mi primera impresión al descubrir a Bob Horner. Sus obras tienen una clara influencia del lowbrow art* y de los comics, donde se rozan con lo grotesco y lo irónico.

Sus creaciones van desde los originales sobre madera calada hasta muñecos personalizados. Pero todos siguen esta misma línea increíble de diseño que me recuerda a Ren & Stimpy.

Aquí predomina el color, siempre contenido por nítidas líneas negras, en ocasiones el collage y el talento visible como leitmotiv.

A veces una imagen vale más que mil palabras, por eso dejo mi relato para que disfruten de la maravillosa obra de Bob Horner!

If i have to choose a word to describe the art work of this artist from Ohio, it will be STUNNING. Although I should add that he has an incredible technique and ingenious, I keep on choosing the first adjective as the characteristic because it was my first impression after finding Bob Horner. His art has a definite influence from lowbrow art and comics, where they are very close to grotesque and irony.

His creations include original paintings on wood slabs and customized toys. All of them have the same great design style that reminds me of Ren & Stimpy.

Here predominates color, always enclosed by a clean black line, he includes collage and a visible talent as the leitmotiv of his work.

Sometimes, an image is more than a thousand words, that’s why I leave my story for you to enjoy the marvelous art of Bob Horner:

*Lowbrow, or lowbrow art, describes an underground visual art movement that arose in the Los Angeles, California, area in the late 1970s. Lowbrow is a widespread populist art movement with origins in the underground comix world, punk music, hot-rod street culture, and other subcultures. It is also often known by the name pop surrealism. Lowbrow art often has a sense of humor - sometimes the humor is gleeful, sometimes impish, and sometimes it's a sarcastic comment.Most lowbrow artworks are paintings, but there are also toys, digital art, and sculpture.
