William Robinson continually pushes the boundaries of the painting medium, driven by an inherent desire to subvert the two-dimensional picture plane into a majestic and monumental dialogue with nature.
Artworks delve into the liminal spaces where night turns to day, earth to sky and sky to water, with Robinson’s portrayal of natural elements creating a complex sense of time and space. These depictions can be interpreted as symbols for various states of mind, the cycle of life and death, or what might exist beyond the physical realm.
