Description This drawing was made while out with friends at the Flying Saucer in Little Rock. In the middle of the whirlwind of people and noise these two men were quietly sitting and sipping beer while playing chess. I found the calm in the middle of all the chaos to be incredibly interesting, and tried to capture that in this image.
Robert Bean, Little Rock Member Since November 2007 Artist Statement
Robert has been a practicing artist for over a decade with his work having appeared in juried shows and is in private collections nationally. Most recently his work could be found in the 2006 MOAK and the 20th Annual Small Works on Paper.
While some artists see the title as a secondary trait to the image itself, Robert strives to combine both title and image into a complete work. Using the title as an "opening line", the artist hopes to bring the viewer into the world being created while allowing the viewer to complete the story.
