Flight of the Butterflies by Robert Swedroe

MEET THE ARTIST

Robert Swedroe

As a young architect, Robert Swedroe emerged upon the art scene in 1963 with the first of eight consecutive one-man shows from Miami Beach to New York. Over the next decade, his creation of collages numbered into the hundreds, earning both critical acclaim and a succession of sold-out exhibitions. The visionary eye of the artist informed his commercial, grand-scale designs with greater depth and attention to detail. His professional mastery of structure, form and balance contributed a sense of proportion and discipline to his collage and assemblage work. Recently this interplay of design aesthetics culminated in an entirely new series of multimedia constructions; one that reflects Robert’s personal vision of the structural and visual composition of the world around us. These latest works of collage and assemblage continue his tradition of challenging the boundaries between two and three dimensions, while leveraging his sensitivity to the everyday images that comprise our environment. These new “higher-tech” creations now incorporate computer-generated elements, monochromatic fields, and a bolder, crisper array and arrangement of sumptuous, thought-provoking imagery. Robert Swedroe’s passion and commitment to the practice of both art and architecture are as ardent and profound as ever. His designs evolve with the sensibilities of our time and with his own growth and maturation as an artist.

TIMELESS HOME DECOR

When it comes to my approach to collage art, I tend to take a surreal approach. I find it more satisfying to let the viewer interpret the piece for themselves, rather than telling them what they should see. Take, for instance, my work, "Flight of the Butterflies." This piece was inspired by the Monarch butterflies that often hover around my pool area. Using a mixture of paper and glass butterflies with jewel accents, I created a vibrant and captivating mixed-media collage that perfectly captures the fluttering beauty of these delicate creatures. Each time you look at it, you may discover something new, as if the butterflies are taking flight right before your eyes.
