Robert Taliaferro is a Black artist who originally hails from the East Coast. His early work was predominantly soft pastels and in the last decade, he has worked exclusively in oils, watercolors, and acrylics. From time to time, he executes studies in oil pastels or simple (yet detailed) mixed media sketches. His work has been exhibited extensively and is in a number of private collections. Among those exhibits, his work has been shown at the following:
The Alpert Gallery, Boston
Brandeis University , Boston
The John Hancock Building
Ibis Galleries, Los Angeles
Art League of Houston
ABC No Rio, New York
Northern Westchester Center for the Arts, New York
Puffin, New York
Atlanta Black Arts Festival
Robert prefers to paint on primed watercolor paper rather than traditional canvas, and prefers handmade papers, and papers that are deckled. He often includes those rough edges into the theme of a particular painting.
