In 2015 he was a recipient of the Joan Mitchell Painters and Sculptors Grant. In 2019 his work was included in the Invitational Exhibition of Visual Arts at the American Academy of Arts and Letters in New York. In 2022 he constructed an empty space with the aid of a grant from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation. Often he has wondered if he has lived a skeleton’s life as a questioner of reality. Centripetal impulses have led him to work with a variety of means, and a significant bifurcation between painting and sculpture; as well as intense though transitory periods of attention to video, installation, and things less categorizable. In common among these efforts is a focus on the vagaries of first-person experience, in particular what J. J. Gibson called “the co-perception of self and world,” as well as the nuts and the bolts of vision and optics, and generally the contradictions of being a thing and a think. His exhibitions have been reviewed in The Chicago Reader, The New York Times, New York Magazine, Artforum, Art in America, Hyperallergic, Modern Painters, The L Magazine, New City, Art Ltd. Robinson lives and works in Brewster, New York. Born 1980, Cranston, RI; BA Amherst College, 2002; MFA The School of the Art Institute of Chicago 2005.
