Bob Eige is an emerging new media artist who was born in Newark, NJ and who now lives in the Sierra Foothills of California. His childhood inspirations in art included frequent visits with his family to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. He says that art is in his family genes — his grandmother’s cousin was the famous cubist painter Max Weber.

Eige’s work ranges from abstract, to sci-fi fantasy. He is a digital artist pioneering the use of a 3D fractal program combined with Photoshop and some photographic imagery. Some of his paintings have a kinship with fantastic realism. His paintings include fragments from many cultures and traditions including Egyptian, Indigenous peoples of the world, Chinese, and Japanese.
