Robert LaDuke

Robert LaDuke is a painter who uses playful images inspired from childhood memories or dreams to create humorous metaphorical paintings. La Duke explains, "Although realism often dominates my work visually, it is in fact, merely providing a means - a frame of reference - to a metaphoric end." With his use of often absurd and exaggerated scale relationships of cars or trains, he revives our own vividly playful memories as children but invents enough oddities to amuse us today. Robert La Duke has a BFA from Art Institute of Chicago and was also a selected artist in the publication, New American Paintings.
