There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,
And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;

And frogs in the pools singing at night,
And wild plum trees in tremulous white,

Robins will wear their feathery fire
Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;

And not one will know of the war, not one
Will care at last when it is done.

Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree
If mankind perished utterly;

And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn,
Would scarcely know that we were gone.

Sara Teasdale, from “There Will Come Soft Rains”

Paintings for Algorithm marks Robert Bingaman's fifth solo exhibition with the gallery.

Robert 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.
