Notes:
Canadian artist Richard Roblin finds inspiration for his paintings in nature, architecture and design. Having traveled extensively, he absorbs himself in the teachings of various cultures, utilizing expressive shapes and a vibrant palette to communicate ideas. When describing his process, Roblin comments, “The nature of my painting activities is to engage with the magical resonances of colour and form. I play with the dynamics of luminosity to reveal the sense of joy which inspires it.” Balenciaga (2014) epitomizes Roblins artistic style with its grid-like structure, inviting texture, and stimulating colours.

Roblin garnered attention at an early age, when his work was first acquired by the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in 1961. Since then he has exhibited throughout Europe and North America. His work has been collected widely through commercial galleries and museums, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
