View more works by Robert W. LaDuke
Robert LaDuke (b. 1961) LaDuke's narrative paintings are a combination of memories, dreams and everyday life, and as such his work remains open-ended. Paintings which tell a complete story from beginning to end are not compelling to him. He puts a lot of personal iconography into each piece, but does not wish to dictate a strict narrative.
LaDuke prefers viewers find their own interpretation of his work. Ideally, LaDuke's desire is to paint works which create more questions than answers. Viewers are free to imagine multiple meanings in his work. Although realism often dominates his work visually, it is in fact merely providing a frame of reference to a metaphoric end.
