Untitled . 2017
For Robinson, painting is a means of seeing, which is then a means to painting. How visual cues are received, processed and then reflected in paintings has held his attention recently and formed the basis of this new series. Making work that speaks to the act of witnessing and capturing, Robinson shows the limitations of that recognition, activating through painting what might be unseen, passed over or elusively below the surface of apprehension. For him, what is received through a quick glance or a focused stare may contain more information than we cognitively register. The paintings in this exhibition materialize what may or may not fully exist.
