Robert Gunderman’s abstract paintings are large and lavish, but brim with a poignancy that signals change, loss, and decay. The work’s organic vocabulary conjures the natural realm, and the sinewy, expansive forms and mineral palette bespeak a titanic struggle against time and tide. The view is cinematically sublime but ominous in its restless metamorphosis. We are spectators at our own doom. Such eco-abstraction recalls the abstract surrealism of 1940s America, the gestural angst of Gorky, Pollock, and Rothko. Gunderman brilliantly translates their postwar existentialism into climate-change expressionism - an abstraction to take personally.
