ROBERT SEYFFERT ORIGINAL
​
View of Quaker Island
Robert Seyffert
25" x 30"
Oil on canvas
​
Robert Seyffert's work reflects his deep connection to conveying the experience of our environs, particularly New York’s Lower East Side, Spanish Harlem, Gramercy Park, the South Bronx, Baltimore’s Fells Point, and the coastlines of Nova Scotia, Southern California and Brittany, France.
​
His motivation stems from two sources. One is the image's potential for conveying sentiment and the other is the joy of mixing simple colors to create an immediate painting from observation. He began as a photographer and soon realized he was compelled by the immediacy of painting. The ability to transform the observed light, form, and color of experienced images into works of art to evoke multiple emotions has animated his entire life.
Robert attended the Maryland Institute College of Art—the oldest art school in America—and was recruited to attend Parsons School of Design’s first MFA program by artist Paul Resika, the program's co-founder.
​
His seascapes, cityscapes and murals are in many private collections and public spaces, including portraits at the National Portrait Gallery, the Clarence Mitchell Courthouse, and the National Arts Club. Funding for his work has come from the Helena Rubinstein Grant, the Elizabeth Greenshields Grant, and the Yale at Norfolk Fellowship. In 2019, He received the Poe Award for artistic excellence.
