About Bob Elliott
I was born and raised in the Washington, DC Metropolitan Area. I obtained a B.A. and a B.Arch from Rice University in Houston, Texas, where I studied art, architecture and photography. In the 1990s, I practiced architecture for a number of years in Houston and Chicago, during which time I worked for a variety of firms best described as modern classicists and modernists. While practicing, I found a passion for using computers and computer aided design in my artistic pursuits.
Today, my art blends computer generated techniques along with acrylic paints to create works which are inspired by my interactions with common objects and everyday life experiences – flowers, gardens, metro trains, or tiny colored pieces of paper. Occasionally, my work is inspired by my travels to distant places - such as a stroll through a formal garden on a spring day in Paris, France or an overnight stay in the Ice Hotel inside the Arctic Circle in Sweden.
My work is intended to be purely compositional, rarely literal; a geometric reinterpretation of objects and places created from a repetitive language of lines, circles, rectangles and squares. My work often begins with a simple idea and a limited color palette and then evolves and transforms to the point where it looks completely different from my original artistic inspiration.
