Robert Bissell
The Exchange, 2007

In the paintings of Robert Bissell, the world of animals is a mirror for human existence, self-definition, and reflection. These are not mere children’s tales—quite the contrary. Bissell’s work causes us to reflect on the environment, life, death, renewal, and the stages of transition—departing from the safety of family, and making our way in the world. Pomegranate also publishes Robert Bissell’s work in the book Hero: The Paintings of Robert Bissell (2013).
