Brian Robinson is a multi-skilled contemporary artist, whose practice includes painting, printmaking, sculpture and design. The graphic style in his practice combines his Torres Strait Islander heritage with a strong passion for experimentation, both in theoretical approach and medium, as well as crossing the boundaries between reality and fantasy. The results combine styles as diverse as graffiti art through to intricate relief carvings and construction sculpture echoing images of Torres Strait cultural motifs, objects and activity.
In his new project Thithuyil: Navigating with the Rhythm of the Stars Robinson is exploring astronavigation and open sea navigation by the peoples of the Pacific. His new solo exhibition planned for 2016 will incorporate new artworks that respond to a curatorial selection of navigation objects held in the ethnographic collections of the Australian Museum.
