QUIET TABLE
QUIET TABLE, Memory Forms
2023-24
Robert Roth’s series Quiet Table explores the poetry of home, inviting viewers to reflect on dreamlike arrangements of earthenware vessels, bowls, and slices of fruit—objects that serve not merely as subjects, but as carriers of memory and subtle narrative. Together, they form a portrait of shared cultures and intersecting histories. Roth’s compositions celebrate the intimacy of a family’s collection—simple, time-worn objects that hold deep personal resonance, perhaps passed down through generations. Roth’s blends loose spontaneous brushwork, oil stick and painted paper collage, creating textured surfaces alive with atmospheric energy and motion. His exploration of form reflects the ethos of Cubism, balancing flattened shapes that move across a geo-fragmented surface. Subtle nods to early modernism—and too painters like Morandi and Picasso—surface throughout, works hovering between reality and abstraction. These objects hold stories : vessels of memory, presence, and light. Robert's paintings evoke the warmth of a kitchen nook, a family table, or terrace — during the calm of morning light or the gentle reflection of late afternoon—capturing the spirit of home. Rooted in tradition yet open to reinvention, Quiet Table, stands as an homage to the timeless poetry of domestic life: simple quiet moments that remind us where we come from.
