Robert Langenegger

Description

Robert Langenegger is a farmer by day and artist by night. He was born in Switzerland but was raised in the tropical jungles of the far-east. Here the young Robert learned to fend for himself by watching the succession of species throughout the seasons and by reading the bible. One day he realized that the Eurasian tree sparrows songs no longer pierced the morning air and the Orb web spiders ceased to spin their intricate web.  Instead plagues of ticks, fleas, priests, mosquitoes and flies invaded his personal space. During this time Robert dropped out of business school and then decided to pursue ethno-botany but there was no such thing in the Philippines. The young lad finally decided to study Fine Arts so he can merge his vices with his job. Unfortunately he was never able to complete his studies after years of trying because the gallery system swallowed him up alive. Robert doesn't think there is any hope left for humanity. So let us all sit back and watch nature balance itself as we go the way of the dinosaurs.
