The Artist's Inspiration

“The inspiration for the show “For Love of Woman” comes from all of the years of life I've shared with women:  observing, partnering, mating, conversing, hating, laughing and above all, loving them.. The images are a combination of visceral inspiration, subliminally perpetuated, imagination infused, along with the models/women who offer up their brilliant creative energy in constructing my motivations.  I love women, I love everything about them, but above all, I respect the extremely important power they are given at birth: born mothers.  My entire life, I have been challenged by so many female powers and the female magic that men will never understand, especially her super sixth-sense…. fortitude.  I appreciate the ever so wonderful female 'presence'.  No matter her size or shape, she is woman and belongs to a sorority of like-beings that are perpetuated by procreation. They are mothers, whether they ever give birth or not, and they are solely qualified, unique and possess longevity.  Men may have the key that links the creative process, but it is women who are the gate-keeper, the door-person, the drawbridge, spirit of the castle's womb, nurturing agent, life support system, and finally, the messenger. I love woman.”

Info About the Show

We are thrilled to announce that the First Prize Winner of Beatnik Studios Fine Art Competition this past February, Robert R Sanders, will be exhibiting his remarkable photographic talents in his Solo Show, entitled “For Love of Woman”, opening August, 26th.  Robert is a brilliant photographic visionary who has mentored thousands of photographers during his more than 30 year professional photographic career in commercial, fine art and portraiture.

Robert has put together a photographic expose that invites the audience to visually embrace the splendor of all women.  Each piece in the exhibit tells a unique story, highlighting the individual beauty of woman, their triumphs, the burdens they carry, the sacrifice they endure, and their unique strength.

As an artist who believes in giving back to the community, he has partnered with the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition (NOCC), to hold a benefit auction for his artwork at this very special show, helping to unmask the truth about ovarian cancer, raise awareness about the disease and find a cure.  The silent auction will continue through the end of September while Robert’s work is on exhibit at the gallery.  Bids can be placed at the gallery or on-line at www.ForLoveofWoman.com.  Winning bids will be notified on Sept 30.

Join us Friday Night, August 26 at 7:00 pm for the Opening Night & Artist Reception with music provided by DJ Debauch.
