ROBERT TOWNSEND

(b. 1974)

CONTEMPORARY POP REALIST

By Gallery Historians

Robert Townsend paints highly finished images of the icons of an American Pop mythology. His unfailing eye for color and texture produce a vision of America's material culture that vacillates between nostalgia for what is lost and optimism for the continuation of American ingenuity.
