Our current artwork is provided by Bob Peck,
a native Clevelander and professional artist.
We are once again thrilled to have Bob's beautiful
abstract artwork in our new salon for the holiday season.
Bob does work for major corporations, sports teams,
clubs, and is a presenter/ educator for the group
Progressive Arts Alliance which spawned from his early
2000 Rock Hall graffiti presentations.
Bob's abstract expressionism pieces can now be seen in
galleries across the metropolitan Cleveland area.
Paintings for sale are available through Salon Destino
and can be seen in the salon December 10, 2011 -

All too often these days, we're looking for the big picture.
The answer of all answers. That last puzzle piece that ties
it all together and makes confusion become cohesive.
All the dots connected and the image revealed.
Humans as a whole, crave conclusion. It lets them know they've reached their
goal and they can move on to the next quandary that keeps them going.
It's been said that "life imitates art" and in the art world, especially involving
abstract work, the casual viewer and veteran-critic alike often are looking for the
sum of the work. Either asking themselves, "What does it mean?" or,
"What message is the artist trying to convey?"
More than they're willing to admit, the artist has to concoct a lengthy statement
brewed up from a sludge of art school rhetoric and sub-culture buzzwords,
which in the end, usually becomes a wordy haze that overshadows the image
itself.
Smoke and mirrors save the artist for another day.
Bob Peck has fallen victim himself, at times, and has spewed out statements
about graffiti art and transcendence alike. In the end, though, he has been an
abstract artist for over a decade and, regardless of his roots, that may add that
sense of Vice-Magazine-counter-culture-bad-boy-ism to his work, he is simply a
man who loves to paint the designs trapped in his imagination.
It's that simple.
At the end of the day, graffiti art played a big part of where he is now, but the
last few years of work is really about design and color and texture...pure and
simple.
If you want to hear a story about Peck's artwork, ask him face to face and he'll
tell you a good one from his past. But don't expect some long and drawn out
statement next to each painting in the gallery.
