Rob Nye
Extractionist Painting®.
Oil, ink, pastel, and acrylics. Unique painting process, multi-medium

Rob is sixty one years old; received his Fine Art degree from the University of Southern California, and studied at L.A. Art Center under James Jordan. For over thirty years he worked variously as a film producer, senior advertising executive, and creative director for both corporate and international philanthropic endeavors. In the late nineties he put aside these “former worlds” to engage in a full time studied practice of the visual arts, primarily through the self-developed discipline of Extractionist® Painting. By way of insight, Rob was born with acute "reverse imaging" visual Dyslexia. He credits this once long suffered handicap as the principle instrument for his studied ability to look intently INTO objects rather than simply at them. Through the Extractionist® process the artist’s one time disability has become an innovative creative asset, enabling others to witness vivid scenes and striking images they might otherwise bypass entirely. Rob's work continues to appear in national and regional competitions, solo exhibits in San Francisco and Northern California, gallery exhibits on both the West and East coasts. And of course his work is always available for viewing through his studio gallery in Marin County, California. Rob's Extractionist Paintings® are in the collections of multinational corporations, universities, military command staff headquarters, and numerous other public and private venues. His offsight representation has included, or includes, CODA Galleries in Palm Desert, California, Polonaise Galleries in Woodstock, Vermont, ArtworkSF in San Francisco, California, and a host of online fine art web sites. Of course, he is always eager to discuss additional regional proprietary representation by accredited galleries and dealers. Rob Nye Studios©, located in San Rafael, California is open to the public Monday through Wednesday and Saturdays. For appointments call 415/806-3482 or send email to robnyestudios@sbcglobal.net.
