A collection of original, vintage board game cards and acrylic crystals arranged on painted canvas with a three-dimensional element. The work is mounted behind glass within a white, wooden frame. These cards, which have been arranged in a grid-like formation, are from a mid-century, British board game discovered at a South London flea market. After spinning a dial which would stop on a random letter of the alphabet, players at the time would think of an appropriate word to fit the subject category printed on the card. The addition of Swarovski crystals in each card’s corner provides a contemporary component which shimmers in the light when moving around the artwork and the raised element casts soft shadows below. The individual history of this board game is evident in the marks, tears and worn edges of the materials.

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.
