Throughout his paintings, Deyber moves in and out of visual themes and storylines. Compelled to create imagery where he uses a combination of highly stylized composition, light, and contrasting colors, his goal is to apply all three skillfully, thereby drawing the viewer into his painting without overpowering or confusing.
Deyber is a ''visual raconteur'—a storyteller with a paintbrush, his mind's eye planted deep within the subconscious. With artistic roots that hail from the Surrealist movement, among his heroes, are Rene Magritte and Salvador Dalí. While many of Deyber's paintings contain elements derived from dreams created out of the unpredictable imagery found in the subconscious, the extraterrestrial flowers have more in common with the worlds of alternate natural history imagined by Alexis Rockman or Walton Ford and the visual rendition of current phraseology and
popular culture is more in the tradition of the Pop Art movement. In the end, the undecided tone between sincerity and irony makes Robert Deyber's artwork distinctly contemporary, his visual vocabulary distinctly his own, but with a worldwide audience.
Robert Deyber's career has taken him all over the world. He lived for a while in Italy's Umbria region and lived for a time in San Francisco and New York before moving to Boston. He currently resides in Connecticut and is exclusively represented by Martin Lawrence Galleries.
