Rod Massey "Untitled #0217"Oil on Panel 2002
Rod Massey (American, b. 1949). Oil on panel painting titled "Untitled #0217" depicting houses buried in fresh white snow, 2002. Likely depicting homes in St. Paul or Minneapolis. Signed and dated along the verso. With a label from Groveland Gallery in Minneapolis, Minnesota along the verso.

Massey was born in Minneapolis in 1949 and received his BFA at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. Upon graduation, he continued his education at the Tanglewood/Boston University and the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. His work features everyday urban scenes and imbues them with a sense of buoyancy. Massey's main interests lie in unpacking the underlying character of daily objects, such as houses, highways, work trucks, fruits, etc. He argues that "While my art is rooted in traditional painting, my intent is to convey a deeper, more personal and contemporary insight into my environment. Distortions of perspective, space, color and light all define the regionalist nature of my personal vision and experience." His work is housed in numerous national collections including, but not limited to, the Minneapolis Institute of Art, 3M Company, General Mills, and Target Corporation.
