SEMANA DEL ARTE EN EL FOCO: LA IDENTiDAD FOTOGRÁFiCA DE ROBERT
ARTiSTA @ROBERTRAUSCH
Criado en un pintoresco pueblo rural en el Sur, Robert enfrentó los desafíos de un impedimento del habla y dislexia, lo que hizo que la educación tradicional fuera una lucha. Sin embargo, descubrió su talento innato para capturar el equilibrio y la belleza a través del lente de una cámara. La fotografía de Robert profundiza en temas de identidad, junto con los sueños y deseos que definen nuestra esencia.
Sus fotografías a menudo mezclan narrativas de la vida real con elementos de fábula, ofreciendo una exploración profunda de la identidad y la igualdad. Robert se emplea a sí mismo como sujeto en sus obras, tejiendo cuentos de deseo, conflicto y los conceptos fundamentales del bien contra el mal, lo correcto versus lo incorrecto.
Educacionalmente, Robert perfeccionó sus habilidades en la prestigiosa Escuela de Diseño Parsons en París, Francia, seguido de una Maestría en Bellas Artes del Art Center College of Design en Pasadena, California. Su notable fotografía ha adornado las páginas de publicaciones estimadas como el New York Times, Travel & Leisure, Garden and Gun, Southern Living, Ladies Home Journal, Elle, American Craft, Cottage Living y Veranda.
Actualmente residiendo en una tranquila granja en el norte de Alabama, Robert continúa contribuyendo significativamente a las artes fotográficas. Su trabajo está programado para ser exhibido durante la Semana del Arte CDMX 2024, presentado tanto en la feria de arte Clavo Movimiento como en Art Gallery Studios. Además, The Bureau of Queer Art ofrece una entrevista en podcast llena de perspectivas disponible en todas las plataformas de podcast, donde los oyentes pueden sumergirse en el meticuloso proceso de Robert para elaborar cada elemento en su fotografía.
Raised in a quaint rural town in the South, Robert faced the challenges of a speech impediment and dyslexia, which made traditional schooling a struggle. However, he discovered his innate talent for capturing balance and beauty through the lens of a camera. Robert’s photography delves into themes of identity, along with the dreams and desires that define our essence.
His photographs often blend real-life narratives with elements of fable, offering a profound exploration of identity and equality. Robert employs himself as the subject in his works, weaving tales of desire, conflict, and the fundamental concepts of good versus evil, right versus wrong.
Educationally, Robert honed his skills at the prestigious Parsons School of Design in Paris, France, followed by a Masters of Fine Art from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. His remarkable photography has graced the pages of esteemed publications such as the New York Times, Travel & Leisure, Garden and Gun, Southern Living, Ladies Home Journal, Elle, American Craft, Cottage Living, and Veranda.
Currently residing on a serene farm in northern Alabama, Robert continues to contribute significantly to the photographic arts. His work is set to be showcased during Art Week CDMX 2024, featured at both the Clavo Movimiento art fair and in Art Gallery Studios. Additionally, The Bureau of Queer Art offers an insightful podcast interview available on all podcast platforms, where listeners can delve into Robert’s meticulous process of crafting each element in his photography.
