ROBERT PAN
Robert Pan’s work is inspired by western abstractism and moves in the direction of nonrepresentational
cultures and oriental philosophies. Breaking the connection with history, that is,
with the space of human affairs, Robert Pan’s big resin paintings attempt to submerge themselves
in time. The metals, hues and constellations emerging from the way he works with his
pieces in layers dilate time and leave plenty of room for sublimation.
Robert Pan (Bolzano, 1969) Pan’s works are the product of a long process of overlapping of countless layers of
resin. He seeks particular hues through physical and chemical processes of corrosion with acids, application of
copper plating, oxidation of iron and more. Resin, a material Pan has been working with for many years, serves his
vocation of ennobling his gestures and presence in search of vibrant force. Robert Pan’s work has met with national
and international consensus and has been included in public and private collections since 1991. Major exhibitions
