Description
“Dear sir" showcases a meticulously crafted bust of an elderly figure, marked by its striking realism and attention to detail. Rendered in a monochromatic palette, the piece emphasizes the nuanced textures of aged skin, with delicate wrinkles and folds. The subject's eyes are framed by oversized glasses, captured with precise clarity, suggesting introspection and wisdom. The hair, subtly styled, complements the distinguished features of the face. Mounted on a black base, the stark contrast enhances the sculpture's prominence, drawing the viewer's focus upward. The tactile quality of the surface invites observers to engage not just visually but also imaginatively, pondering the narrative behind the thoughtful expression. This artwork is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing human emotion and character through sculpture, creating a timeless piece that resonates with authenticity and profound depth.
Presentation
Born NYC. Lives and works in Nîmes, south of France. Robert is a contemporary oil painter and sculptor creating subtly surreal contemporary figurative works that explore themes of identity, social facades, and the human condition in our digital age. His practice merges classical techniques with modern disruptions, characterised by layered surfaces, impasto technique and juxtapositions of fragility and strength. Robert examines society through narratives and fragmented daydreams, often employing digital methods fused with traditional media. Notable series include the Paris Metro collection (2024), which documents urban interactions through a contemporary flâneur's lens, and Cassandra Complex (2024), a darkly humorous critique of modern socio-political issues using restrained colour palettes and digital aesthetic elements. His sculptural practice explores organic forms in clay, resin, and marble.
Robert Inestroza has exhibited at Paris's Salon d'Automne (2025 and 2024), and Brighton's SEAS Gallery (2023), with works featured in Art Fluent Gallery's exhibitions (2021-2023). His practice gained recognition through Le prix Lelivredart / Salon d'automne 2025 and finalist placements in the Prisma Art Prize (2021, 2022), as well as inclusion in the Quay Street Gallery Exhibition Catalogue (2021). His works are held in private collections across Europe and North America.
