Peter Robinson: Essential Security
12 Mar, 2011 - 21 Apr, 2011
New Zealand artist, Peter Robinson's work is historically known for its critical exploration on issues of identity and ethnicity. Originally trained as a sculptor, Robinson's work expands beyond sculpture into drawing, painting and other media. He has continually shifted tack throughout his career in his use of materials and techniques and the content he addresses. Robinson's early works were concerned with personal and racial issues as he analysed and responded to his part-Maori heritage. His more recent work has shifted from this rhetoric and the weight of interpretation, to explore and celebrate the materiality of the mediums he works with.
