Robert Josiah Bingaman (born Wichita, Kansas November 4, 1981) is an American artist known for his large-scale paintings and works on paper inspired by his semi-suburban midwestern upbringing.

Career

Robert Bingaman studied painting at the University of Kansas (BFA, 2005) and visual arts at Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis (MFA, 2007).[1] His career began in earnest in 2014 after he gave an artist's talk at the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, where he captivated the Kansas City art world with his series of Night Pools, declaring “I make paintings of things I care about.”[2] Things he cares about can be summarized as: the suburban landscape, the wonder of nature,[3] and popular American architecture and design.[4] Bingaman has used his personal travels[5] and literary sources as inspiration for his work, citing Cormac McCarthy, David Foster Wallace, and W.G. Sebald for their influence.[1][6]

Bingaman is represented by Haw Contemporary in Kansas City, Missouri and currently lives and works in Humboldt, Kansas.[1]

Exhibitions

In 2014, selections from "Night Pools" were shown in his first one-person museum show at the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art in Overland Park, Kansas. He expanded upon the pool motif with large-scale paintings for "Until It's All You See", a solo exhibition at Studios Inc, as part of a three-year residency program in Kansas City.[7]
