Geoffrey Robinson
Painter
Over the last ten years Geoffrey Robinson has moved away from abstraction into a world of still life, symbols, and floral magic. His work begins with charcoal drawings on a gesso ground and through painting are transformed into naive domestic still life paintings, sometimes with further line drawings in pencil, paint or charcoal applied to the top layer of paint.
The strong abstract content is always secondary to the narrative of the painting. The negative spaces in his paintings are as important as the objects; occasionally he creates a hard edge abstract composition as a backdrop to a further linear composition.
During the relatively short period in his career as a semi abstract painter he has been selected as an ‘invited artist’ at the prestigious Discerning Eye annual exhibition at the Mall Galleries, London, and was the subject of a documentary on Independent television broadcast – 2004 – ‘Geoffrey Robinson in The Frame’.
“A Robinson is quite clearly and recognisably a Robinson, and for those still not familiar with his work, his uncanny and almost idiosyncratic mix of styles – and within it multifarious still life objects – will assuredly make its mark.”
Peter Davies, art author and historian
