Gourley's work has been purchased at auction by such pop-culture luminaries as Elton John and Norman Lear, and has also been displayed at the Smithsonian Institution in the form of a piece titled "Spaghetti Meets Tomato."
Roark Gourley is an American painter, sculptor, and mixed media artist in Laguna Beach, California noted for wall sculptures that depict humorous subject matter. In 1992, the Smithsonian's Museum of Natural History commissioned Spaghetti Meets Tomato in the Collision of the Continental Plates, a high relief map of the world with depictions of various foods making up the topography and borders of countries.
How about WHY We do this? I always say "We" because creating my art is a family experience. My sons, my daughters and my wife Michelle are all creatives. We live and work together creating what we call the aesthetic experience. We hope our pieces with take you to that place where you can touch the aesthetic. It is that moment in a movie a song a ballet an art piece that just hits you and opens the door to what I can only call Home. It is an emotional level beyond the physical, it is touching the aesthetic... that is the only way I can describe it. Once you make that happen as and artist, you are hooked for life. It is truly WHY we do what we do. Of course this is not easy... what fun would it be if it was easy? We do it because we love it... and in fact we know no other way. The fact that we can make a piece of art, a dance, a piece of music, a movie or anything that can touch that emotion in other people is it. Aesthetics and humor are unique to the human experience we work with that medium daily to bring people up... It is WHY We do this.
