[Roberto Azank]

Roberto Azank

Roberto’s canvases convey a sense of hyper-reality through his bold use of color, precise line and controlled composition. Common objects such as flowers, fruits, vessels and candles are given new life set against the strong horizon which divides the artist’s rich color fields. These color fields, often indescribable in hue, are the cornerstone of Azank’s work, while the still life objects act as vehicles for exploration of positive and negative space, placement and scale. He elects to omit unnecessary ornamentation from his compositions, choosing instead to emphasize the precision and draftsmanship he originally investigated in architecture school. Now at mid career, Roberto Azank has been described by Dr. Ronald Vigo as a metaclassical artist whose interests lie in the abstract qualities of realism as opposed to the photographic copying of nature.
