Kevin Robertson | Are You in There, Mr Smart?, 2022, oil on canvas, 41 x 30.5cm
Following on from his recent survey retrospective at Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery, Kevin Robertson presents new work in a solo exhibition.
The painterly surfaces of these new paintings record moments of both the observable world and the intuitive world that we inhabit simultaneously. The drifting subject matter - architectural spaces, figures and atmospheric studies - is connected by threads of heightened visual awareness.
Kevin Robertson was born in Norseman, Western Australia, in 1964 and studied painting at the Western Australian Institute of Technology (now Curtin University), graduating with a BA in 1984. He was awarded a Master of Arts from the College of Fine Arts, University of New South Wales in 1992 and a Doctorate from Curtin University in 2018. His work is represented in national public and private collections including Artbank, the Art Gallery of Western Australia, Parliament House Canberra, Wesfarmers, Bankwest, The University of Western Australia, Murdoch University, Kerry Stokes Collection, Janet Holmes à Court Collection and Royal Perth Hospital.
