About the Item

Robert Glick (American, born 1950) "Contemplation" 2025 Oil paint on canvas, stretcher bars The artist signed the bottom left corner of the painting. Framed Dimensions: 30.75" x 24.75" x 1.25" “Contemplation” is an intimate figurative piece that presents a seated female figure folded inward in a moment of quiet introspection. Rendered through a modernist lens, the body is constructed from rhythmic planes of color and line, blending warm earth tones with cool blues that create a sense of emotional balance and structural tension. The figure is framed within intersecting geometric forms that feel both architectural and symbolic, suggesting an inner space as much as a physical one. Perpendicular lines flow through the composition like threads of thought, reinforcing the contemplative mood and guiding the viewer’s eye across the canvas. The stylized anatomy and simplified facial features recall early modernist and cubist influences, while the palette and softness of expression lend the work a distinctly contemporary sensitivity. Glick’s approach emphasizes psychological presence over literal realism. Rather than depicting a specific individual, the figure becomes a universal embodiment of reflection, vulnerability, and inward focus. The modest scale of the painting enhances its intimacy, making it especially compelling in private interiors or curated groupings. About the Artist: In his Carmel-by-the-Sea art studio, Robert Lee Glick explores various painting styles. At GlickStudio, he draws upon his artistic imagination and refined skills in drawing and color theory while creating dynamic compositions. The styles span classic, cubist, representational, surreal, and experimental. Many are expressed via Robert’s lens of geometric or fractured reality that has been gained through years of working as a designer and graphic artist. Glick has been recognized with sixty graphic design illustration awards, including the 2024 American Digital Design Award for Illustration and a 2023 American Graphic Design Award.
