Robert Stanley (1942- ) is a painter, educator, and computer artist in Beverly Shores, Indiana. While Stanley was born to a household that was supportive of the arts, he didn't pursue art classes until his they were offered to him while training to become a monk. He went on to receive his Bachelor's Degree from the University of Dayton in 1964, and later received his Master's Degree from Pratt Institute in l969 so that he would be able to find adequate work teaching art. Stanley was an early follower of computer art, and soon would become a pioneer practitioner, from the early eighties, creating computer art regularly from the mid 1980s throughout the 1990s and beyond. Notably, Stanley explored the same themes in painting and computer art throughout his career, particularly the exploration of perception and dimension in constructing images, as well as unseen forces at play in nature. Stanley cites artistic influences as broad as Jasper Johns, Wassily Kandinsky, Richard Diebenkorn, Sally Mann, and Bill Viola, as well as biologist E.O. Wilson and physicist Edward Lorenz.
Robert Stanley has exhibited his work throughout the United States and Europe, including The William Penn Museum in Harrisburg PA, Musée d'Art Contemporain, Chamaliere, France, Midwest Museum of Art, The Brauer Museum, Ft. Wayne Museum of Art, Koehnline Museum, Hyde Park Art Center, and Evanston Art Center in Illinois. Stanley's art is featured in numerous private collections internationally as well as the Brauer Museum of Art, Valparaiso, IN; Ft. Wayne Museum of Art, Ft. Wayne, IN; The Embassy of France, Washington, D.C.; and the World Print Council, San Francisco, CA.
