LEWIS ROBINSON
Robinsons’ sculpture uses dismantled and deconstructed domestic furniture. This gives birth to something new with a reflective, playful curiosity and commitment to reinventing the sculptural object.
Reclaim, retrieve, recycle, rework, salvage. Just some of the words that help describe the working process of Lewis Robinsons’ sculpture. He uses domestic wooden furniture and what he describes as ‘allotment technology’ to rethink and reshape these once familiar domestic objects. Through the mental and physical process of making he pieces together fragments to make new sense of their original function.
In a very physical and visual sense these works exercise the discipline of working with given volumes of material determined by the domestic object that has been chosen. Once dismantled and deconstructed the material can be used to give birth to something new with an ever playful curiosity and commitment to reinventing the sculptural object.
His working process allows for improvised, debased, fragments of precariousness to emerge, hovering somewhere between Arte povera and Minimalism.
Lewis Robinson lives in North Yorkshire and has his studio in East Cleveland.
He also works as a Senior Lecturer in Fine Art at Teesside University.
