CURATOR'S STATEMENT

ROBERT PASTERNAK understands perspective, spacial relationships and color.

With this knowledge base and the careful skills of an illustrator, he combines parts of the human anatomy with selective shapes and places them in an imaginative world foreign to most of us. It is as if his searching, preparation and the creative process has no ending and contains part of the artist himself.

While the work begins with the stroke of the pen or brush and there is a certain pattern in the direction, the outcome is never certain. One section will intertwine another, taking on natural forms while yet another section may lead off into the abstract.

The viewer will have to work hard to follow Pasternak's patterns but will definitely enjoy the adventure.
