Contemporary Trompe L’Oeil Paintings

 
 

Robert Tynes has been painting professionally for over 30 years. He has held over 25 solo shows and been included in over 150 group exhibitions. Tynes is currently Professor of Art at the University of North Carolina, Asheville where he has been for the past 24 years. Prior to moving to the Asheville area he taught at the University of Hawaii, Humboldt State University in California, and at East Carolina University’s School of Art.


Contrary to appearances, all of the artworks represented on this site are entirely two-dimensional and do not contain actual objects attached to their surfaces. Trompe l’oeil (fool the eye) painting techniques

are used, creating the illusion of “combine paintings” where objects seem to be attached

(like collage or assemblage) to the surface of abstract paintings.
