Jason Robinson

I have no conscious aims, no intentions, but move from immediate impulse in the exploration of pure form, colour, balance and chance.

I am also one half of the collaboration called Robinson & McMahon (delmonte)

As a collaboration of two artists painting on the same canvas we are guided by reaction and response, not imposing rules or process, to combine our very different methods of using paint to create abstract paintings. A finished work exists as a result of all marks made by both artists, whether they are still seen, been obliterated or have just left a trace.

Our paintings usually show our distinctly different painting styles which have a dissonant harmony, a playful discussion, muted versus loud. There are times when there is no harmony or discussion but rather a full on argument and attack on each other’s marks. A number of these paintings have been left to calm down over a few years and as we have become more considered of each other’s actions, these battle scarred paintings have been salvaged. Sanding has bulldozed some of the blights but still left a trace, foundations that have been built upon and smoothed over, a kind of beauty from the rubble.

Our paintings exist because of the other; not necessarily bearing...
