Artist BIO
Hello, my name is Robert Fairley III, but my artist name is Rf3theartist. I’m a 23 year old African American artist born and raised in Nashville,TN. I’ve been drawing since age 4 , but started taking it seriously in high school. I graduated from high school in 2016 and completed 2 years of college at Watkins College of Art and then dropped out to pursue my art career. My reason for doing so was lack of support, creative differences and wanting to be able to create my own art, on my own time. The underlining theme in my work is black culture. I highlight the pop aspects of black culture by using black celebrities that inspire me in my work sometimes. Some of my work that has been popular are my fabric paintings where I paint with oil paint on decorative fabrics. These fabric paintings are something that I’m doing for the moment because I have so many more issues I want to work on that I’m interested in like female rap culture ,hip hop/R&B, and the LGBTQ community.
