Item Description
Initially painting beautiful flowers in vases and fields, Rob found much success and notoriety when he chose guitars as his muse. An intense painter, Hendon’s works reflect his preference for brightly colored acrylic paints. His surfaces include canvas, wood, glass and metal. By using pallet knives to apply the paint and varnishes to coat his paintings, Rob achieves an even richer and more brilliant effect.
In 2004, Hendon was selected by Barbara Orbison to paint a Roy Orbison-themed guitar for Nashville’s GuitarTown project. This guitar was auctioned and raised a significant amount of money for charity. This statue now sits in front of the famous RCA Studio B in Nashville, TN.
Gibson Guitars noticed Hendon’s work and had him paint a 35 foot Les Paul on the floor of their sales offices on Church Street in Nashville. In 2006, Rob was asked to paint a “Bredesen” guitar at the campaign headquarters of Governor Phil Bredesen. You can even see Rob’s guitars on television shows like Gone Country and Nashville Star. Three of his guitars were also part of the backdrop for the ABC series October Road.
In one of his proudest moments, Rob was invited to New York to present one of his paintings to guitar legend Les Paul. Most recently, Rob completed paintings for the Tennessee National Guard and CAO Cigars.
Rob Hendon’s name is fast becoming synonymous with guitars in the art world. Hendon’s works have found their way into the homes, studios and offices of record producers, recording artists, songwriters as well as numerous music and movie executives.
