List of original paintings signed by artist Bob Lawson

Bob Lawson is an abstract expressionist painter whose work is characterized by a bold exploration of materiality and texture. Specializing in the use of commercially available gloss and eggshell paints, as well as varnish and bitumen, Lawson creates dynamic compositions that emphasize the physical properties of his chosen mediums. His paintings often feature thick, layered applications of paint, resulting in rich, tactile surfaces that invite viewers to engage with the artwork on both visual and sensory levels. In recent years, Lawson has expanded his practice to include collage, constructing pieces rooted in 'urban archaeology.' By collecting billboard materials and signage from cities such as Venice, Thessaloniki, Heraklion, and Granada, he endeavors to recreate montages of recent historical events that encapsulate a sense of place and identity. This approach echoes the New Realism movement of the 1960s, focusing on the marginal remains of civilization as evidenced in various social contexts.


Lawson's innovative use of industrial materials and his commitment to exploring the intersection of abstraction and urban culture underscore his distinctive contribution to contemporary art.
