Robert O’Connor

"Joy of the Long Dead Child," "October," and "Trapped,"

Robert O’Connor strives to make people “stop.”

O’Connor’s work is provocative and intriguing. Yet, despite the suggestive quality of his pieces, he says his goal is simply to provide people with a moment of escape.

“Good art work makes people stop in their tracks,” he says. “They forget about themselves for a moment, and they think about the larger ideas of life.”

O’Connor is a multimedia artist living in Atlantic Highlands. He works in video, paint and prints. His work is thoughtful and layered, even his videos seem to have a painterly quality.
