Movements: Abstract Expressionism &SurrealismRobert Klippels indefatigable instinct to make things embraced therealms of fantasy, of imagination and whimsy, but at the same time thereis a sturdy reality in all those reawakened bits and pieces of discardedindustry and long-lost purpose.These works of surprising contemplation and fascinating intrigue are,for me, perfect testaments to the contribution of Robert Klippel; thatindependent, somewhat solitary but relentlessly creative spirit."~ Edmund CaponDirector of the Art Gallery of NSWWell heythere
