Review

Steve Pfarrer, writer for the Hampshire Gazette, writes in the January 18th edition of the paper these comments regarding my 30" x 30" acrylic piece on display in the "Bright & Light" exhibit: 

"The exhibit also includes a number of abstract/expressionist paintings such as “On Time” by Robert Bent, an acrylic on canvas work that includes a wide variety of circles interspersed with looping single lines, all of the shapes butting up against each other in random patterns as though they’ve been shaken together and are still settling."

The exhibit runs until the end of January.

Here's the piece-
