Bobby Sharp

Bobby Sharp's graphic compositions, the logical array of plant forms, have been defined as neurological compensation for his inability to sort out concepts and meaning in written and spoken language, a defect of severe dyslexia that relates to the intensity of his expression using visual elements. Born in upstate New York, Sharp's first art was arranging blooms and foliage found along Otsego Lake in Cooperstown, and later hiking the Costa Rican Rain Forest. His floral sculptures display the true character of the species used, not only to show beauty, but an articulation, geometrical and emotional, of the subtle integration that gives a visual sense meaning. His sculpture and prints can be found in the Rice Gallery at the Albany Institute of History and Art; at Cornell University Plantations, Ithaca, NY; at Fenimore Museum Originals, Cooperstown, NY; at the Cooperstown Art Association; at the Mohonk Resort and Gardens, New Paltz, NY, and at the Munson Williams Proctor Arts Institute, Utica, NY.
