Robert Gordy bio
Balancing a clean, formal graphic approach with creativity, wit and verve, Robert Gordy created a style of painting that is instantly recognizable to anyone even vaguely familiar with his work. Sometimes placed in a category with Keith Haring, he created images that exploited patterns and simplicity of form. He had a wonderful sense of color as well.
Gordy’s artmaking
Robert Gordy was unusual in his frequent use of markers, pens and ink to create his images – which are so clean that they look to a contemporary eye to be machine or computer-created. He was enraptured with print-making, and produced many limited-edition print series’. Robert Gordy’s works are in museums worldwide, including the Whitney, MoMA, the Smithsonian and other top-tier institutions.

About The Artist
Robert Gordy's passing in 1986 at the age of 52 was a significant loss to the art world. Renowned for his extraordinary compositional skills and imaginative intelligence, Gordy’s elegant paintings, created in his signature style up until 1981, demonstrate a remarkable mastery of color hue and value, as well as a sophisticated balance of shape dynamics. Despite the apparent calm of his work during this period, intense emotional undercurrents often emerged. Starting in 1982, Gordy’s focus shifted beyond mere color and design mastery, as his final series of monotypes revealed profound emotional messages, marking a poignant culmination of his artistic journey.
