1982 "Shout of Possesion" Painting by George Rodart (Oil on Canvas)

- George Rodart was raised in Pasadena California. He initially studied Physics, and later, after working in the computer industry and on the Apollo Project, enrolled at UCLA to study art. Rodart mentored with Richard Diebenkorn and John McCracken, graduating with a MFA. In Los Angeles he exhibited with the Ulrike Kantor gallery. Rodart was included in the Whitney Biennial in 1975 and again in 1983. In 1984 he received a Guggenheim Fellowship in painting. He moved to NYC, entered a relationship, raised a kid and continued his investigations into the nature of painting. He has been painting continuously for fifty years. Rodart’s body of work is exploratory and investigative, an inquiry into how the culture uses the painted image as a vehicle for expression and as a signifier of the cultural moment. Since 2015 his paintings live at the boundary zone between abstraction and representation, in an area of associations dependent on memory, of personal and cultural experiences. His work embraces the meta world of digital experience, moving towards an Abstract Surrealism.
