Studio Sale | Adam Robinson

Adam Robinson’s work reflects his passion for colour, found materials and the processes of collecting and arranging. He draws inspiration from a wide variety of sources with architecture and the built environment being particularly influential.

The found and sometimes forgotten materials he uses, with their strong sense of nostalgia and history, are a further source of inspiration and fascination to him. He aims to transform these objects such that they exist in a more contemporary and ordered context with a clean, vibrant aesthetic.

In this work, ‘Autumn’, Robinson displays segments of an original, vintage oil painting contrasted alongside painted strips of wood. This mid-century find is by an unknown artist and has been divided into sections and then raised on wooden panels. Laser-cut wooden strips dissect the image and are finished in a corresponding autumnal palette. 

Since graduating in Australia with a degree in Theatre Design he has worked primarily in television as an Art Director but now focuses on his art practice. Adam Robinson is represented by Select Gallery in Notting Hill, has exhibited in numerous exhibitions and art fairs both in London and New York, and has been highlighted by Rebecca Wilson, chief curator at Saatchi Art, as One to Watch.
