Fiber/Craft Artist


For this Artist Research I chose Rob Conger. There was not a whole lot of background at all about this guy so the only thing I can judge him by are his art creations and by the looks of them, he must be have great attention to detail and more than likely is a perfectionist. He was the second artist that I looked at from the list and the last because he can do some crazy things with rugs and thread like materials. The pictures posted show his attention to detail and both look as though they are simply pictures. At least, that's what I thought when I first glanced. All of his works look very sharp and I actually don't understand how someone can create such realistic portrayals of humans and portraits. I must say that Rob Conger has a real talent and his work has been shown at many different locations. After looking at his rugs I can say that questions arise. For one, how the hell can someone have that much patience. It is crazy. Also, I am finding myself wondering how long each piece takes him. Other than that, this guy knows how to make a cool rug.
