Artist Statement
Robert Lardus "Dysmorfofoby" series. This is a perverse series, a series with a message. The author paints alla prima, there is no way to fix flaws and mistakes. No image is perfect. Painting dysmorphism can be found in each of the paintings. If we want it! However, not the real flaws, but the imaginary ones, the phobic blemishes are the worst. They torment, destroy and cause misery. "Dysmorfofoby" shows Robert's uncertainty. First and foremost, each image requires the author's approval, just as any image of a person requires the acceptance of its host. Painting are in the Hart-Edge style with glare effects.

Artist Profile
Hometown: Dublin
Based in: Dublin
Robert Lardus is vegetarian, buddhist, and abstractionist. All three factors combined are rare where he comes from: the deep Midwest of the United States of America. He studied painting and then went on a long journey through Asia. This is where he started his transformation. What we see now is a full-grown artist submerged in transformative nature, influenced by biological processes, anamorphic shapes.
Robert lives in a world of forms and colors. He cultivates his individual perception of the world, looking for simple, but sumptuous beauty.
His technique is based on layers and texture paint. Robert’s artworks can be associated with richly woven renaissance tapestry in which the colors are distilled from the experiences of multiple senses.
Lardus is fascinated by process painting. He invented dozens of original painting techniques. His “Humanography” combines the idea of writing abstract characters with icons depicting the human being as individual or submerged in a community.
