GLADIATOR : THE ART OF FIGHTING

New works by Robert Phelps and Thomas Phelps

Robert And Thomas Phelps are two brothers who share a common vision. Raised in the wild mountains of Appalachia, they bring a deep-rooted sense of the natural to their paintings. Both are self taught artists with vastly distinctive styles. As in their personal lives, their artwork has a profoundly symbiotic, complementary feel when viewed together. Robert focuses exclusively ion the figure, while Thomas paints with an abstract style that explores the paint as its own language. They both seek to express the heart of their subject.

GLADIATOR : THE ART OF FIGHTING , is a fierce visual foray into the world of battle. The metaphor of fighting has long represented our collective and individual struggles wrestling with our angels and demons, grappling with tough decisions, and more currently the subtle bludgeoning witnessed in the political arenas. The heroic triumphs, and devastating defeats of the fighter resound through every aspect of our culture. Our movies, our songs, and our headlines all celebrate the art of strategy and the tides of war.
