Artist Bio
-
During his 50-year career, internationally recognized Pacific Northwest artist Royal Nebeker (1945–2014) exhibited throughout the United States, and in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, France, and Germany. Nebeker’s paintings and monotypes are dreamlike, with a focus on power and relationships between individuals. His work is noted for highly autobiographical, narrative imagery that often centers on identity, and the power of dream and memory.

Abstract
-
Many of Nebeker's collage-paintings combine rough brushwork and drip with collage elements, written phrases and notations. Nebeker is one of a handful of contemporary artists who seem to have found just the right way to marry expressive imagery with snippets of language that function both as "notes" and graphic elements. One of Nebeker's common practices is to leave some horizontal space near the lower edge of the canvas as a place where these kinds of images and notes can accumulate. Working this way allows him to combine the high traditions of painting with pop culture materials, and to make his images both emotionally and intellectually rich.
