“More often than not,” says Robin, “I find myself walking a fine tightrope between the real and recognisable world and the internalised abstracted world of the imagination. A place where inner and outer states often overlap. Most of what I do is rather like a chain reaction following on from my response to an initial stimulus which could go in either direction. Once I am engaged with the work and the matter and texture of the paint itself, ideas may become firmer or, in turn, give way to other ideas.

 

“What has become apparent is that the work has been steadily moving toward a synthesis of abstraction with the objects, places and experiences familiar to most of us. Whether it succeeds in doing this you will have to judge for yourselves."

 

Robin taught art in East Anglia and Cambridgeshire before moving to live near Lampeter in 2004. Amongst many influences he notes Dennis Lucas (St Martins School of Art) who, with great patience, taught Robin “to draw and appreciate real ale”.
