Meet the Artist

Ross Bisbee - with his painting (Non)Duality

Originally a classically trained painter and sculptor who employed traditional academic techniques with an emphasis on academic realism and naturalism, I now work predominantly on abstract works in a variety of mediums, both traditional and non-traditional.

 

My current work consists of intricate abstract paintings that are created with black oil-based paint upon primed and cradled panels, and are done entirely by freehand, without any preliminary sketches, prints, projections, or under-paintings.  

Each piece is relatively unplanned, as I try as best I can to allow for the ideas and mark makings to happen as naturally as possible.

 

At each given moment I am not entirely sure what the final work will look like or even how the mark I am currently making will ultimately affect my ever changing idea of how to proceed. The paintings tend to grow, so to speak, slowly but surely, until they are finally 'finished.' 

​

I like to think of all my paintings as snippets of one larger endless and continuing image.  Therefore, any piece that is purchased fits as a natural companion for any other of my pieces within this on-going series.​

​My work, as an artist, is influenced and inspired by my own life experiences and philosophies, combined with my studies of:

​

  • Quantum Mechanics

  • Cosmology

  • Biology 

  • Philosophy

  • Ubuntu

  • Taoism

  • Buddhism

  • Ancient history

  • And other varied scientific

                                               & spiritual interests.  ​​

Key concepts and ideas that relate to my work are:

​​

  • Ubuntu 

  • Synergy 

  • Symbiosis 

  • Fluidity 

  • Inter-connectivity 

  • Mindfulness 

  • Compassion

  • Harmony

  • Spontaneity

  • Diversity 

  • Balance 

  • Embracing Change

  • And the paradox of duality and non-duality

​

I would hope that my work inspires compassion, curiosity, and a sense of wonder and unity, while awakening innovative, creative, and abstract thought.​

​  Given the intricate nature of my work, it can take months to complete one piece.  For this reason my paintings are really intended to be seen and interacted with in-person. 

 

To assist with this, I chose to couple detail images along with the full composition images, hoping to enhance your experience, while also providing a more accurate representation of my work, and the work that is put into them. ​
