Brad Robertson

Brad Robertson is an American artist born and raised in the coastal town of Mobile Alabama and currently resides in Tampa, Florida. With a BFA from Auburn University in graphic arts, Robertson has painted throughout his life, and it was also through the encouragement of his art professor that he pursued a career as an artist.
Robertson’s earliest inspiration was the landscape of the indigenous pines and oak trees, and the waters of Mobile Bay. The coastal landscape is also an ongoing major source of inspiration for Robertson. Robertson paints with a distinctive abstract style that invites the mind to explore layers of color and textures, as if the eye might wander along the horizon, looking out across the water and into the depths of a Gold Coast sunset. Robertson aims to evoke the eternal, looking for innovative ways to combine color and texture to create multi-layered shorelines, endless horizons and seeming portals of bold color. A direct expression of the landscape he calls home, he views every painting as a part of him.
