During the heydays of the legendary
East Village scene, Walter Robinson garnering major attention, not only
as an artist but an art critic as well. With "Figure Studies" Robinson
reasserts himself as an ambitious practitioner of painting. Employing
high gloss images from shopping catalogues and sales brochure, these
seeming banal images, on closer viewing, divulge shape shifting
abstraction and psychological lures, designed to entice consumption.
Robinson's light touch and fluid dexterity recalls the social
portraiture of John Singer Sargent, and the kitsch of late Picabia, but
with an underlying critique of our consumer consciousness. This program
includes a brief interview with the artist, Walter Robinson.
