PRESS
"The ability to see the layers of cultural invention, exploration, so distinctly pronounced, is no more evident than in the work of Robert Bianchi."
— Gerald Feldman, In the Net
"Robert’s images move fluidly between portraiture, constructed tableaux, and dreamlike composites of the human body."
— John Manno, Decagon Gallery
