Unique Enamel on Aluminum Panel - Unsigned - Public Installation - In very good condition - Part of a twelve-panel installation installed at the Union Station in Hartford, Conn. // Robert Cottingham’s B & O (1987) is a vibrant homage to the iconic Baltimore and Ohio Railroad logo, rendered in enamel on an aluminum panel. This unique piece, part of a twelve-panel installation at Union Station in Hartford, Connecticut, captures the historic emblem with a graphic boldness. The circular logo features a yellow Capitol dome against a deep blue background, with B & O prominently displayed beneath. Framed by diagonal blue stripes on a white background, the composition has an industrial, almost architectural precision that highlights Cottingham’s dedication to Americana and transportation motifs. His choice of colors and shapes celebrates mid-century American signage, reflecting the nostalgic allure and cultural significance of the railroad era. Through this meticulous representation, Cottingham immortalizes the B & O Railroad as a symbol of American history and industry.

What is Hyper-realism?
Artwork by Robert Cottingham

What is Hyper-realism?

Hyperrealism is a genre of sculpture and painting that closely resembles high-resolution photographs. It is an evolution of Photorealism and is often applied to an independent art style or movement that became prominent in Europe and the United States in the early 2000s. Hyperrealist artists focus on extreme detail and precision, creating works that are often indistinguishable from real-life images.
