BOB WYGANT
Bob Wygant holds a special place in Texas and the Western heritage he
has painted throughout his career. A quiet man of immense talent, his
paintings come from his heart as much as from his brush. Breathtaking in
his detailed and realistic approach, his images make time stand
still...creating memories that offer the viewer |
a glimpse into a rich past that is relived
through the artist's paintings. Wygant has said, "I
am interested in establishing a mood in my paintings and not a meaning.
It is the viewer
who brings the meaning to the work." From the romantic cowboys to the
rocky landscape and picturesque rivers to the pleasures of rural life, his
paintings have brought the American West to life to be enjoyed and treasured for
generations. After
majoring in art at the University of Texas in Austin, he returned home to
Houston to establish his career. Wygant's first success was in commissions by
some of the major oil companies in Texas. For several years, the artist worked
quietly at home painting for his many clients. His images are in hundreds of
homes throughout Texas and are treasured by every owner.
Wygant's growing reputation resulted in being offered a teaching position at the
University of Houston, where he inspired multitudes of students for 16 years.
The artist also worked with the internationally famous Houston Livestock Show in
judging students' art and awarding scholarships... a way to give something back
to the community.
Bob Wygant's magical use of acrylics earned him a reputation as a master of this
medium. His paintings are vibrant, colorful scenes that allow the viewer to
participate in the mood and emotion emanating from his subjects. He has always
been driven to relay his love of the Western landscape and the many memories of
the quiet, rural life through his paint brush.
Today, the artist and his wife, Alla, reside north of Houston and enjoy a
relaxed, rural life among the simple pleasures that he has always loved to
paint. Wygant, the man, and his outstanding talent are held in high esteem by
the Western art world, which he has so greatly influenced in his own, quiet way.
