Artist Robert Gratiot refers to his work as ""painterly
photo-realism,"" and he readily reveals his complete commitment to
this reference by rendering his subjects with photographic
accuracy. His mastery of painterly methods and of various drawing
techniques highlights his astounding eye-to-hand coordination.
Gratiot precisely conveys a particular scene through meticulously
produced details, each down to the smallest and expertly handled.
But it is more than that-he regards each small section of a
painting as an abstraction, and then assembles these tiny
abstractions to build the realistic whole. His paintings are
obviously the product of the considerable efforts of a very gifted
and extremely meticulous painter. ""The genuine revelation is how
deeply personal and individual these pieces are for Robert Gratiot.
This is a surprise, particularly considering the impersonal nature
of his subjects. However, each is deeply felt and carries hidden
moods and veiled stories, which until he shared them, were known
only to Gratiot.""-Michael Paglia
