Collection: Robinson, Robert

From an early age, Robert Robinson knew he wanted to be an artist. In his senior year of high school one of his oil painting landscapes won in the New York Scholastic Art Show. He majored in painting, graduating in 1975 with a B.S. degree in art education from Edinboro State College in Pennsylvania, where he was honored with a two-person show during his final semester. He has received additional accolades and awards since becoming a fulltime artist. One of his best-known works, Souvenir, was purchased by the Carnegie Museum. Robinson’s art is known for its high energy and mixed-media abstractions. To him, the image is secondary. Manipulating the medium is the part of the art that intrigues him.
