I am intrigued by less noticed places and objects, and find them more compelling than things for which there is already a list of associations and layered meanings. I can feel a presence hidden in the common and unremarkable. Each painting is an interpretation, a careful version of reality exacting in inventory, but newly awake with curiosity and spirit. The color and light within planes of atmosphere, and the paint itself, are the actors in my compositions.

One common thread that runs through all of Robinson’s work is a complex psychology-a tension and depth of feeling that results from intense and perceptive observation. In his paintings feelings become graspable. Robinson’s subjects are evocative and dream like, but they also exist right in front of you.

 – Artist Brett Baker

realism has a way of intensifying the seemingly casual visual perception so that its deeper necessity stands revealed.
