Roberta Thole
With a collegiate teaching background in Art History, Humanities and
Drawing, Roberta Thole developed a strong interest in Classical
symbolism. Her painting
challenge: to visually
contain time past and time present, using the imagery and ideas of
Greco-Roman antiquity, while creating work that is distinctly
contemporary and abstract.
Thole's canvasses combine geometric and architectural elements that are
richly layered and textured, resembling
ancient frescoed walls and ruins.
Exploring the use of copper and fresco, and returning to a love
of nature, have expanded the range and sense of the timelessness of
these complex works. All of
her art expresses her commitment to the process of painting.
