Greetings,
Robert Westaway has a vibrancy, is loaded with optimism, seeks Mother Nature to strengthen his power of observation and continually asks why, where did that come from, who was the last one to use it, let's see if we can turn that into something else and what will happen in the process.
This Timaruvian artist is vivacious and has managed to combine all his interests through painting. At school, he loved maths, science and woodwork which all fostered his inquisitive mind. His acrylics and oils are combined with carbon dioxide and secret ingredients and when put on the canvas they separate in places and run back together making rivulets of intense or light colour. On some of his work, I observed crystallisation. He deliberately sets out to make the molecules of his ingredients produce reactions, but stay together, and then observes the process after having applied the paint to his canvas.
