Bob O'Connell

Bob O’Connell is a mature, emerging artist. He works with acrylic on canvas. Bright colors. Strong light and shadows. (Yin and Yang.) Symbolism. Satire. Imagery. With the focus on the individual. He sees meaning in the simplest of scenes and the most common individual-- which he is.

Philosophy, his B.A., plays a major role in Bob’s work. He adheres to the view of C.G. Jung: “…it is not the universal and the regular that characterizes the individual, but rather the unique (who) is not to be understood as a recurring unit but as something unique and singular…”
