The text below is the press release from the Springfield Museums for my 2009 Exhibition and basically explains the difference between my work
and a typical photo collage or digital collage.
MIXING IT UP: DIGITAL COLLAGE PAINTINGS BY ROBERT MASLA
Michele & Donald D'Amour Museum of Fine Arts
July 6, 2009
Digital collage paintings by artist and teacher Robert Masla will be on view at the Michele & Donald D’Amour Museum of Fine Arts
from July 21 through October 18, 2009.
Masla’s collages juxtapose contemporary art tools such as the digital camera and Photoshop software program with painterly
techniques that he has cultivated over his 30 year career. By printing and painting on the canvas, Masla creates work that is both
abstract and hyper-realistic. He keeps the viewer engaged by alternating passages of painted texture with images of everyday objects
in his work. At times it is a challenge to discern between the painted and the digitally enhanced areas.
The integration of old and new reflects Masla’s philosophy that there are no rules and that each artist should use whatever tools are
available for his or her creative expression. A student of Alton S. Tobey, Masla learned to paint in a realistic manner and to use his
own photographs as resource material at an early age. Mixing It Up: Digital Collage Paintings by Robert Masla is a culmination of
many years of work and integrates his early lessons with contemporary thought and expression. His quest for personal truth and his
ever-evolving spiritual life continue to inform his work.
