About the Work
“Repetition of form, pattern, and materials are elements that are often incorporated into my work, reflecting what we see in nature. Cubes Rising utilizes this repetition as well as a consistently increasing mathematical relationship to symbolize the inherent human desire to rise above our surroundings.” – Rob Senn
“La repetición de la forma, el patrón y los materiales son elementos que a menudo se incorporan a mi trabajo, reflejando lo que vemos en la naturaleza. Cubes Rising-Cubos ascendentes, utiliza esta repetición, así como un aumento constante de las relaciones matemáticas para simbolizar el deseo humano inherente de elevarse por encima de nuestro entorno.” – Rob Senn
About the Artist
Rob Senn spent his entire professional career in the music industry, based partly on education (BA- Economics from UNC-Chapel Hill and MBA from Pepperdine/Graziadio) and mostly on really good luck. That business journey took him from working for major record labels, to MTV-Music Television, to the GM of the GRAMMY Awards, to the COO/CMO of Gibson Guitars, plus a long-term consulting practice with many cream-of-the-crop music nonprofits. One recurring theme along the way was his professional and personal emphasis on applied creativity and design, making time for occasional exploration into sculpture. Upon moving to Sonoma County almost a decade ago, Senn found the land space and the opportunity to develop hardscape sculptures; large art pieces intended for outdoor placement.
Senn lives in Santa Rosa with his longtime partner and muse, Kristen Madsen.
