For Standish, the work in "Anti-Sporadic" — the handiwork and the artwork that resulted — became an exercise in trust. Specifically, he had to trust that by staying on course with both the blueprint created by the tools and the ongoing application of the medium, the painting manifests a satisfactory process and ultimately reveals a unique aesthetic. Robert Standish is an American painter living and working in Los Angeles whose organic process explores the emotive effects of color, shape, and texture. Inspired by the color-field painters and Abstract Expressionism, Standish’s free-flowing use of paint is his way of interpreting metaphysics and theology through various compositions.
