Patti Robinson’s Artist Portfolio
Westhampton Beach, New York, USA
Shreds of torn paper mingle with gloops of paint. A dull pink spills over the pixelated pattern of a black and white security envelope. A pool of mauve forms a hard edge against a pointed piece of black. For all its thick materiality, Ice Cream Castle by Patti Robinson is atmospheric in composition and non-representational of its subject. A portfolio of Robinson’s work appears in Kolaj 30.

“I hope viewers get the raw, immediate honesty. Composing my titles is a crucial step in sealing the practice; it’s always an Ah-ha! moment.”
