Robert Bingaman
Robert Josiah Bingaman (born November 4, 1981) is an American artist born in Wichita, Kansas and currently living and working in Humboldt, Kansas.[2] Raised in a semi-suburban midwestern environment, his work consistently reflects several aspects of his upbringing, including the suburban landscape,[3] the wonder of nature,[4] and popular American architecture and design,[5] as well as his own personal travels.[6] Bingaman also intentionally relates his work to American and European literary sources[7] such as Cormac McCarthy, David Foster Wallace, and W.G. Sebald, respectively.[8] Bingaman is represented by Haw Contemporary in Kansas City, Missouri.[9] His work consists of large-scale paintings and works on paper.[10]
Education[edit]
Bingaman received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting from the University of Kansas in 2005 and a Master of Fine Arts in Visual Art from the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis in 2007.[11][12]
Exhibitions[edit]
In 2014, selections from "Night Pools", an ongoing series of paintings, were shown in his first one-person museum show at the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art in Overland Park, Kansas. More recently, he expanded upon the pool motif with large-scale paintings for "Until It's All You See", a solo exhibition at Studios Inc, as part of a three-year residency program in Kansas City.[13] In September 2016, he debuted a new body of work, "Memorial", at Haw Contemporary, in Kansas City, Missouri.[14] His work has been shown in various group exhibitions across the United States.
