Lancaster Arts Hotel Gallery
Featuring
ROBERT HEILMAN new work
capturing the light of both cityscape and countryside
First Friday Artist’s Reception, May 4, 2007, 5:00 till 8:00
 
“I strive to create work that is more about presence and the substance of a place than a photo-realistic rendition of it.  The light, the feel of the air - late summer evenings are my favorite subjects.  Painting is simply the language I use to communicate.”  R. Heilman



Maple Street, 7 1/2” x 7” oil on panel

Robert Heilman is best known for his photorealistic renderings in oil, capturing light during a particular time of day.  
His summer night, street scenes, illuminated by lamp posts bring to mind a late evening walk – one feels the heat radiating
from the sidewalk, the humidity on the skin.  Snow freshly fallen across the farmland in early morning, or piled on city street, the day waning, Heilman has an uncanny wayof expressing the moment and teasing the senses.
 
  Having captured the hearts of collectors all over the country, his work is held in private and public collections,
including the Emprise Bank, Wichita, Kansas, Palmer Museum of Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pennsylvania,
Suzanne H. Arnold Art Gallery, Lebanon Valley College, Annville, Pennsylvania, and The Hershey Company, Hershey, Pennsylvania.

Robert Heilman’s work has been exhibited in prestigious exhibitions and galleries nationally, including State of the Art,
Pennsylvania State Museum, and the Doshi Gallery, Susquehanna Museum of Art, both in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania,
the Demuth Foundation and Tremellen Gallery of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Valley House Gallery, Dallas, Texas,
Harris Gallery, Houston, Texas, Henoch Gallery, New York, New York, and Wichita State University, Wichita, Kansas.  

He lives and works in Lebanon, Pennsylvania and is represented by Lynden Gallery, Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania.
