About the Artist

Texas native, Robert Langford, always knew he belonged in the world of art. Self-taught through years of research, observation and exposure to the arts, Langford credits Southwest Art magazine as a huge resource of inspiration, knowledge, and exposure.  

After a successful career in commercial real estate, Robert was at a crossroads. He could continue on in his established venture or finally set off towards the life long dream of becoming a full time visual artist. In 1999, he decided to take the leap of faith and has not looked back since. 

Having the benefit of business experience under his belt, Robert created his own quarterly ‘pop up’ exhibits at well-established retail locations throughout Charlotte, NC. As an independent artist, Robert traveled to Red Dot Art Fair in NYC and Miami in 2011 and 2012 and found his first major success as a full time artist. 

Over the next decade, Robert has found representation at galleries throughout his current home of Charlotte, NC as well as galleries in Dallas and Sante Fe, where he has exhibited numerous group and solo exhibitions. 

"I’m inspired by the energetic use of color, relying on the tension between the spontaneous and the considered, the accidental and the consciously executed. I hide very little. My methods are evident as I cover and uncover, delineate and sweep over the shapes on the canvas. The colors respond to one another, and I let their interaction guide me in the composition."
