Bob Nugent at Erickson Fine Art Gallery

There is a word in Portuguese, “Sentido”, that has to do with experiencing things with all one’s senses.  Not just to transfer what you have seen….but to use all your senses to record the place or object.  That is what my work is about. When I go into the Amazon for instance, I take pictures,…

Still life has been my subject of choice for 20 years, probably because it allows me to control the light, colors involved, and objects.  I return to familiar things, most of them culinary, letting the drama and surprise come from the arrangement, vantage point or the paint itself.  “Still Life with Tools”, 40″ X 36″, oil on linen, 2015…
