Andrew Jim Robinson
The fascination of youth. The imprint of chemicals upon a surface. And the mind swayed by conflicting antagonisms.....
A belt of confusion lies deep upon a built up chaos. And with this there is the humour. A tortured and busy mind enacts the hand to display a cohesive conjunction of characterisation via a brush, a tool, or a fleshy prod.
Art is about creating an illusion for me. Its about surprising the viewer. Asking the viewer to create his own narration.
A J Robinson.
I read William Gibson and Bruce Sterlings epic novel when i was 25. I know it has a deep aspect to my work. The mechanical, the unconnected construction of victorian peddlers. It poises one in a consensus of indifference with images of physical impossibilities. Entering the psyche to concoct something new , fresh and technologicially different. The Driving of the brush allows one to struggle, to reconstruct and construct an object through the lost and found of space.
We have to look beyond things. The deep core rooted in our own endevours and tribulations. But what intrigues us?
