Bob is a native Chicagoan. His paintings, which utilize various techniques, are of natural and urban settings, most inspired by South Side neighborhoods such as Marquette Park, where he grew up, or the southern suburbs he's called home for 36 years. Often playing with scale and light sources, his work is richly layered. Each time a viewer sees "Searching for the Light in Dundee," which suggests aliens might visit Gadomski's corner, or "Marquette Park Polka," with its echo of gang tensions in a battle amongst colorful mannequins, there is always something different to attract attention.
