robert mars

i'm really enjoying these mixed media pieces by robert mars-- i love the look of old signs like the ones he uses in his pieces and how they seem to be a glimpse into times passed.... in robert mars' own words, his work is "a documentation of americana...once the promise of hope and prosperity now these icons are a sign of desperation and ruin."

these images are taken from the kidder smith gallery website (boston), one of the galleries which represents him, and you can see many more pieces right here.

and also check out his website (i love the front page!), where there is a list of the other galleries that show his work.
