New Blood
American Art Collector|June 2023
Since opening Robert Lange Studios in 2005, husband and wife owners Robert and Megan Lange have represented hundreds of artists. The through-line across all those years has been their own work. Both Robert and Megan—painting as Megan Aline—are successful artists themselves

In the same way that as artists their search for new inspirations never ceases, as gallery owners, their search for new artists doesn't either. Robert Lange Studios’ upcoming exhibition, New Blood, which runs June 2 through June 30, showcases six of the newest artists to join the gallery’s impressive roster of talent.

“We are always seeking out unicorns,” says Megan. “There’s nothing greater than when someone walks in and instantly identifies one of our artists based on the uniqueness of their painted language. The six artists in this upcoming show have the two factors we are always looking for—both ‘the what’ and ‘the how’. We love when what an artist paints tells part of their story. Also, how they apply paint should feel like their own unique handwriting.”

Having been in business nearly 20 years now, the gallery’s stellar reputation results in a ceaseless flood of inquiries from new artists seeking representation. The Langes consider the person along with their production when considering who to welcome into the gallery family.

“We often say we find artists based on character first and artwork second,” Robert says. “It’s important that we believe in the humans behind the art. There are plenty of amazing painters, but our gallery is focused on creating a community, not just selling paintings.”
