The Art of Robert Hardgrave

“As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.”
-Carl Gustav Jung

American artist Robert Hardgrave feels the same, as he points it out on his site.

He achieves excellence in modern art as his paintings describe a strange and oblivious description of life. His strokes express that can be called 'on the threshold' realism.

Robert Hardgrave's art takes a meaning with a preternatural outrage of the soul trying to communicate itself to what can be within it's grasp. 'Xenoglossy' is another of his exceptional works.

“In this particular body of work I am attempting to relate my idea of the many possibilities of reincarnation,” Hardgrave says. “Not necessarily in the sense that when one dies they become a wombat or a newt, but that life can continue in the memories of the living.”

His other works can be viewed on Farmer Bob's Farm.
