I was born in New Jersey in 1969. I have lived in New Jersey, Los Angeles, Portland, Oregon, Manhattan and currently reside in Brooklyn, NY. I have been creative as long as I have been alive. Aside from my art I have been the art director of Element Skateboards, graphic designer for Akademiks and PRPS and currently design footwear for adidas.

| 关于此艺术家 |
My work is a chronicle of Americana. I am determined to capture the independent aesthetic of the not-so-distant past that has been replaced by homogenized corporate culture and standardized cityscapes. Industrial design, graphic design, architecture and vintage neon all render important roles in my work.
My paintings employ layers of color, subtly collaged printed matter from the 1950’s and 1960’s, and stark, black imagery. Remote, indistinct
landscapes capture the once poetic, and now nearly lost highway strips of the American past. Formerly the promise of hope and prosperity; these
icons are now a sign of desperation and ruin.
As a painter I have shown in galleries in Tokyo, Munich, Portland, New York, Seattle, Aspen, Vancouver, Melbourne, Boston, and Austin.
As a designer, I am currently developing my most recent apparel and accessories company called "Angels and Addicts".I recently designed a
small collection of mens and womens apparel for Lewsader, under the special label "Robert Mars:Hi-Caliber".I have created graphics for adidas, Akademiks, PRPS, Ride Snowboards, 5 Boro Skateboards, Bonfire Snowboard
Clothing, Element Skateboards and numerous other action sports companies.
