Artist Statement - John M. Robertson, MD

Picture
I am inspired by faith and science and by the intersection of the infinite with the finite that is Christ.  I have always felt a need to create art and pursue knowledge.  In this, I am imitating my Creator and learning about His Creation.  Religion and science ask the only two important questions: “why” and “how”, respectively.  Through my art, I explore possible answers.

My work attempts to realize itself as a marriage of form and meaning, as both conceptual and post-contemporary.  

I am also a pediatric pulmonologist practicing in Houston, Texas.

The (“JR squared”) logo

Picture
My wife, Julie, and I share the same initials.  She supports and is a part of everything I do.  So, when signing a piece, I include her initials alongside mine, "JR squared", in a design that incorporates a cross representing our common Christian faith.
