"Reverence" at Robert Lange Studios.

Currently on view at Robert Lange Studios in Charleston, South Carolina is the two person exhibition, "Reverence," featuring the work of artists Robert Lange and Patrick Kramer.

Kramer has become recognized for his dynamic paintings of masterworks being sometimes destroyed and sometimes reflected upon. Alongside his creations are Lange’s inventive realist paintings, often of trompe l’oeil items or magical realism.

Both artists build up their unique compositions using oil paint in multiple layers and various thicknesses to compose unique interpretations in paint.

“By Our Powers Combined” at Robert Lange Studios.

Opening on June 5th, 2020 at Robert Lange Studios in Charleston, South Carolina is the two person exhibition, “By Our Powers Combined,” featuring work by artists Robert Lange and Nathan Durfee.

The works on display are a combination of the two artists creative styles both painting on the same panel.   Lange would begin a painting and then hand it to Durfee to complete. Lange says of the exhibit, “During this incredibly unique time in history, it seemed appropriate that two artists would come together making collaborative paintings that illustrate our unified strength as a collective instead of as individuals.”

During the Covid-19 pandemic, creating collaborative paintings was a challenge, however, the pieces display the importance of human connection;  These works could only be created with both artists, as the title says, “combining their powers.”  Durfee, who has become recognized for painting fanciful realities, said, “These collaborations act as a call-and-response.  Rob creates precise compositions, that frankly hold up nicely on their own, and my job is to add to the conversation.  The magic is in finding a response that’s equal parts belonging and unexpected. The blend elevates each of our parts.”
