Rob de Oude: Rhyme and Repeat
Rob de Oude creates his signature geometric oil paintings through a process of repeating and overlapping bands of color in a patterned grid formation. The artist works predominately in square formats of varying size, ranging from 12 to 72 inches, although there are triangular and rectangular panels included in this exhibition.
Never computer generated, his paintings are carefully crafted entirely by hand on a specially designed easel with a movable guide bar. The bar allows him to keep his lines of color uniform and evenly spaced during the slow, deliberate, cumulative painting process. De Oude modulates his color choices as well as their translucency and opacity with careful mixtures and varying densities of application. The color modulation and linear shifts allow de Oude to create paintings possessing a remarkably atmospheric quality of light, at times ethereal and diffuse, with bending and shifting spatial movement, exhibiting beautiful internal rhythms and patterns.
