Rob O’Hoski
Self-taught until his mid-thirties, Rob then apprenticed with John Angel, a protege of Italian master Pietro Annigoni. First working in egg tempera, Rob moved on to oil, and eventually pastel. He continues to work in both oil and pastel and executes a wide variety of subjects, but mainly focuses on people - portraits and figure work.
“Pastel is my favourite medium, although I also paint in oil and sculpt in clay. While I choose a wide variety of subjects, my preferred is people. The human face is an endless source of inspiration to me, and the landscape of the body provides me limitless raw material for artistic expression. The fascinating complexity of individuals available for portraits, and the beauty of male and female form available for figure work enable me to explore and express my artistic ideas.”
