Bobby Haag Art Show
After spending a year painting paintings under "Bobby Haag Painting" Bobby wanted to find a way to share his paintings with more people. Instead of waiting for a gallery to accept his work and help showcase it, he himself made up the idea of putting on his own art shows to showcase his work. He thought instead of being rejected by galleries and doing nothing with his work that instead he would rather tell the art world himself that he knew his work was special by displaying it for everybody to experience. He began this by setting a deadline to make one single painting to show at a specific location, outside for an entire day. After painting it, he would wake up befor the sun rose, walk to the spot outside with his painting and a homemade showcase easel he built, set up and sit next to the painting so by the time the day starts he would already be there, like a tree, inviting all eyes to see his painting. He believes the purpose of painting is to "see" and the more people he can show his work to the better he can help contribute to the beauty of the world.
The art show was significant because it itself gave purpose to producing a painting instead of just painting a painting in the first place. The art show was the single painting, and the painting alone was the artshow. Then, he would leave after staying for as long as physically possible and return home. These paintings were never shown again, but were and still are today, collected as a body of work that not only tells the story of Bobby doing things the best he can himself to follow his dream of being an artist, but to now have an impressive on-going strong and unique body of work that together created a multiple-piece art show he learned he can tour around the world with. His own art shows taught Bobby Haag how to make his dreams come true, and that changed his entire life forever.
Now, Bobby takes the idea of where this art show idea began by using the idea to work with the idea itself to not have to sit outside and physically push himself to do these events, but to artistically push himself to make better paintings. He does shows nobody sees as well, private shows, and shows for any possibility just to produce a piece of fine art, which comes from his love of being an artist and putting in his own effort and ability of being capable of sharing his gift with the world. This began “Bobby Haag Art Show”.
