Robert Nava

T-LC1

2019

Robert Nava's *T-LC1* (2019) combines acrylic, oilstick, and graphite on canvas to conjure a rawly expressive, mythic creature rendered with energetic, gestural lines. Nava's signature approach merges childlike spontaneity with a primal intensity, giving the figure a visceral, almost totemic presence. The layered mediums create a dynamic surface that feels simultaneously ancient and immediate, evoking the spirit of outsider art and early human mark-making.
