Artist featured in a collection
A collection of original, vintage collecting cards and acrylic crystals arranged on painted canvas with a three-dimensional element. The work is mounted behind glass within a white, wooden frame. Featuring hand drawn images of birds, these cards were produced by the Brooke Bond Tea Company in the 1960’s where they would have been individually collected from boxes of tea in an attempt to complete the set. These particular cards have been gathered from a variety of sources and brought together to create a vibrant, repetitious pattern. The Swarovski crystals act as new eyes for the birds, bringing them to life when catching the light. This style of arrangement draws inspiration from complete sets of framed collecting cards found on walls adorning many traditional English pubs.

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.
