Artist Spotlight ~ Robert Noreika đ¨
For more than 40 years, Robert Noreika has been painting the people, places and waterways of New England with an unmistakable sense of color, energy and design. While his earlier work is known for its loose, expressive brushwork, Iâve especially enjoyed watching his paintings evolve toward a more distilled approach â simplifying the scene into bold shapes, vibrant color and strong, beautifully balanced compositions. Whether painting a working harbor, a quiet village or the rocky coast of Maine, Bob captures the essence of a place rather than every detail.
A Signature Member of the American Watercolor Society since 2015, Bob is also a member of several prominent art organizations, including the Salmagundi Club and the New England Watercolor Society. His work has been selected twice for the American Watercolor Societyâs traveling exhibition, and his paintings are part of the permanent collection of the New Britain Museum of American Art.
Weâre delighted to represent his work here at Sylvan Gallery. â¤ď¸
