Notes


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, ‘Joy Glide’, Robinson displays a deconstructed, vintage board game box and painted wood, arranged on canvas with a three dimensional aspect. The work is mounted behind conservation glass within a white, wooden frame. The juxtaposition of the mid-century board game with contemporary painted wood creates an intriguing tension between past and present. This fusion encourages contemplation of the passage of time, personal memories and the nostalgic beauty of cultural artifacts.

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.
