Robert Josiah Bingaman is an American artist born in Wichita, Kansas and currently living and working in Humbolt, Kansas. Raised in a semi-suburban midwestern environment, his work consistently reflects several aspects of his upbringing, including the suburban landscape, the wonder of nature, and popular American architecture and design, as well as his own personal travels. Bingaman also intentionally relates his work to American and European literary sources such as Cormac McCarthy, David Foster Wallace, and W.G. Sebald, respectively. Bingaman received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting from the University of Kansas in 2005 and a Master of Fine Arts in Visual Art from the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis in 2007. Bingaman is represented by Haw Contemporary in Kansas City, Missouri.
