Modern Art from Vintage Film
Even in its most raw and authentic approach, with vintage cameras and the use of traditional FILM stocks, the camera is a means to modern art.” - Bobby Wheat
Bobby’s iconic Film Negatives Series is the best selling series of works in the gallery’s 11-year history here in Summerlin and a ground-breaking new direction in the world of photographic art.
By implementing his classic FILM photographic approach with a twist in which the negatives (and Chrome Positives) are printed as negatives, the series offers a modern “pop art” aesthetic without departing from the film roots that distinguish Bobby’s body of work from that of nearly every other photographic artist on earth.
Visit the gallery at Downtown Summerlin, Las Vegas to view this stunning series of works in person. As goes for every piece in this interactive series of works, we show you how to set your smart phone up to present the scene as it looked in real life to your guests.

Country Road
48x60 in Our Museum Mount Presentation
Available Sizes
30x40, 40x50, 48x60 Recommended in Our Museum Mount or Gallery Modern Presentation both suit this image beautifully.
A staple - and to date the best-selling landscape image - in Bobby’s Signature Film Negatives Series, Country Road offers a modern interpretation of a traditional scene in the heart of Sonoma Wine Country. The piece has been installed in homes from coast to coast in the United States and was featured in Charleston Style and Design Magazine. On a cloudless day over the Russian River Valley, a film negative offers insight into the exotic and transformative qualities of the natural world. Even under the most ordinary conditions when colors seem dull under harsh light, time alone in nature offers inspiration enough to transcend circumstances and aspire to new realities.

Dark Horse is a modern reflection (both literally and metaphorically) on a subject that has captivated the hearts of mankind back to the earliest days of recorded history. They are creatures of complexity, meek and mighty, power and grace, and in this case Portra Film offers an insight unlike any other film into the beautiful bright side of this mysterious Dark Horse.

Blue Lake along with Sierra Secrets were result of Bobby’s first attempt to take his Film Negatives concept to the Backcountry of the Sierra Nevada in the shadow of the tallest peaks in the lower 48 states. Photographed on a 19-Mile 4-Day Out-and-Back backpacking trip to the upper reaches of the Sabrina Basin, Blue Lake offers a modern interpretation of one of the most pristine and untouched landscapes in the United States.

Another of Bobby’s personal favorites, Napa Inversion combines Bobby’s Sommelier background and his love for wine with his signature style offering a Modern Art Aesthetic despite the traditional subject matter. The piece offers modern minimalism while still providing access to a real moment in time in the mountain vineyards high above the Napa Valley.
