As an artist operating outside the metropolis, my paintings honor the layered complexity in my midwestern surroundings. They are carefully planned, and initially based on a sort of visual hunch- the momentary recognition of a psychological door. I reveal the longing for spirit which resides in concrete reality.

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.
