ABOUT THE ARTWORK

A collection of original, vintage postage stamps and painted wood arranged on canvas with a three-dimensional element. The work is mounted behind conservation glass within a dark brown, wooden frame. Collected from a variety of sources and carefully removed from the letters and postcards they were once attached to, these world stamps have been grouped into a color palette of green, yellow, orange and brown. With their own individual histories, they span a time period of approximately one hundred years, the majority from the mid-century era. Contained within a large circle representing the globe, the stamps have been arranged in a mosaic style pattern which leads the eye on a new journey each time it is viewed in detail. Serving as the equator, the three-dimensional strip of painted wood halves the collection with the top segment being upside-down. Evoking a strong sense of nostalgia, this work references a bygone era when mail was the primary form of correspondence. It also embodies the common pastime of stamp collecting, part of many a childhood around the world.

Adam Robinson is an artist who was born and raised in Sydney. He then lived in London for 22 years and now resides in New York City. Robinson’s work reflects his passion for colour, found materials and the processes of collecting and arranging. He draws inspiration from a wide variety of sources with architecture and the built environment being particularly influential. The found and sometimes forgotten materials he uses, with their strong sense of nostalgia and history, are a further source of inspiration and fascination to him. He aims to transform these objects such that they exist in a more contemporary and ordered context and with a clean, vibrant and geometric aesthetic. He also enjoys the emotional response that colour and repetition can bring and the notion that once the materials are altered, rearranged and framed they are perceived in an altogether different way. Since graduating in Australia with a degree in Theatre Design he has worked primarily in television as an Art Director but now focuses on his art practice. Adam Robinson has exhibited in numerous exhibitions and art fairs both in London and New York and has been highlighted by Rebecca Wilson, chief curator at Saatchi Art, as One to Watch.
