Artist Robert Tatum moved to San Antonio Texas in the beginning of 1992 and proceeded to paint the town, literally, with murals. Some were considered very controversial and put him on the city map so to speak, and the rest was history. You may have seen his design work in logos, interiors, event posters and merchandise for various San Antonio events such as San Antonio JazzSALive, Poteet Strawberry Festival, King William Fair, San Antonio Contemporary Art Month, and Guayabera Fest to name a few. Maybe you have eaten at Mellow Mushroom in Stone Oak surrounded by his mural work on their walls.
Today, he currently resides in Helotes Texas surrounded by the Texas Hill Country that hasinspired his latest collection that will be exhibited at Mockingbird Handprints through April 4th.
Owning a Tatum is a bit of owning local flavor by one of the hands that has created the puro SA culture. His cultural parodies are presented in bold colors and precision line work with signature techniques. Above all his work reminds us not to take life too seriously and enjoy the ride.
Tatum’s artworks do sell fast among his collector base but to make the art available to many he has had them professionally photographed and locally printed on archival fine art giclée paper and canvases. In addition to archival prints, he is available for commissions which you can make through Mockingbird Handprints.
