A collection of original, vintage U.S. postcards arranged on painted canvas with a cut three-dimensional element. The work is mounted behind glass within a gray, wooden frame. Produced in the 1930’s and 40’s, these postcards have been collected from a variety of sources and then arranged to form a geometric pattern. This particular arrangement has been created to lead the eye down through the piece, each row having a visual link with the one above or below. Sunken rectangular centers leave behind raised frames which reflect the frame of the artwork itself. The repeated hand-drawn illustrations depict iconic buildings in the city of Atlanta, such as the State Capitol and City Hall, which still stand today. A reminder of the individual history and journey of each postcard is evident in the postmarks. Commissioned for a resident of Atlanta, this artwork is part of an ongoing series utilizing vintage U.S. postcards in differing configurations and styles.

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.
