Eric Robin

In Reverie of Form
January 6 - January 27, 2009

Reception: Thursday January 8, 2009 6-8 PM

Press Release

Belgian artist Eric Robin, creates fantastical portraits of women that are rich with the hues and textures of life. With a Fauvist use of color Robin's paintings are psychologically compelling with concentrated, painterly backgrounds suggesting that the subject's mood has generated an aura around them. The colorful, stylized faces become masks with striking eyes that peer through you. "The expression of the eyes [is] where I believe you can read the mind of the soul inside the head," he states. The figures are presented solitary, locked in a world of unknown forces alone and without escape, the remarkable range of tones and adept handling of paint serve to infuse each work with a strong sense of drama.

Robin is a police officer in Brussels and this direct contact with people from all walks of life is a constant source of inspiration for his painting. He is co-founder of Atoutazart, a community-based collective promoting cultural events and awareness. Robin's work has been exhibited in Belgium, France and the United States.
