Robert Beras has always loved cars and art. A native Detroiter, his passion for automobiles came as naturally as his eye for image-making. Deeply influenced by car culture, cinematography, the quiet drama of Edward Hopper, and the many great illustrators he worked with throughout his career, Beras brings a layered, cinematic sensibility to his fine art photography.
He studied photography and painting at Western Michigan University before building a 35-year career as a digital retouching artist, working with top advertising agencies and studios including Skidmore, Doner, and MRM. His skill helped shape campaigns for iconic brands like Chevrolet, Ford, Chrysler, Mazda, Cadillac, Volvo, Coca-Cola, Harley-Davidson, Serta, Pennzoil, and Sea Ray. There are two sides to Beras’s photography. One is minimalistic—focused on strong in-camera composition, careful exposure, and an honest response to natural light and form. The other is more interpretive, where digital tools are used to bend reality and explore dreamlike atmospheres and layered visual metaphors. Both approaches share a common thread: a relentless search for beauty—especially in places where you might not expect to find it. Now semi-retired, Beras is fully dedicated to his fine art practice. After decades spent crafting striking imagery for others, his personal work reflects a more intimate pursuit of meaning, memory, and transformation in the overlooked details of everyday life. |

February 2013: Gary Grimshaw & Artists for the Band Moonalice, Rock Poster Graphic Design
From PCAC Exhibit Director, Lisa Howard...
“We are so excited to bring this historic and relevant graphic design exhibit to our Plymouth audience. Gary Grimshaw was instrumental in creating the psychedelic rock poster art style that we associate with the 1960s and 70s, today. We are honored to have such an iconic artist visit our gallery. Many thanks to the Lido Gallery in Birmingham for helping to make this exhibit and the signing event a reality.”
“ Chris Shaw and his artists have created posters for each of Moonalice’s concerts. Their range of styles and artistic influences are impressive, with over 550 posters in the Moonalice collection to date. The art posters travel as an exhibit themselves, both with the band and independent of the band, showing in major cities throughout the United States."
Gary Grimshaw's talent kept him in demand and in the spotlight, covering the rock scenes in Michigan and the San Francisco area for over four decades. For those of us in the Detroit area, Grimshaw's work was our introduction to the psychedelic era. He was the primary poster and light show artist for Detroit's Grande Ballroom through 1969. These works stand out as the centerpiece of an enormously prolific output of art from the mid-1960’s to the late 1970’s.
