Robert Fleming

ROBERT FLEMING is a visual artist. His practice includes painting, printmaking, and other media (including film). He worked as a lawyer for a number of years, while maintaining an art practice, and is a co-founder of Mirabo Press, a printmaking studio and edition facility in Buffalo, New York. His work, which has tended toward the representational and figurative, is a reaction to living in an era that always seems to de-prioritize our shared humanity. The images come from observing and absorbing material elements in both his small, personal universe and in the wider world, including the omnipresent media. Some of the themes he is interested in are the sense that people are off balance (off kilter) in their lives, the difficulty of meaningful and sustained personal interconnections, the human disruptions caused by economic and other crises, and the cost of violence and the myth of the “good war.” Bob lives in New York City.
