Ben Robinson a short order cook by day at Say Cheese Philly and a freelance
artist by night. He received his AFA from Montgomery County Community
College, and just recently (May, 2013) a
BFA from UARTS. He produces a
broad range of artwork ranging from doodle inspired ink drawings to
psychological paintings that are heavily influenced by surrealism and
abstraction. A common theme in Ben's work tends to deal with the
relationship between contradictions and how they
simultaneously affect
and defect scenarios. He executes this idea through contrasting colors,
shapes, composition, objects, etc.. Ben started out his painting career
doing more rendered paintings and
character driven compositions with a
surreal edge to them. Recently, he's loosened up his painting technique
and have been experimenting with abstraction ever since. Ben Robinson is influenced
by
skateboarding, music and graffiti mostly but he's been discovering
new influences in things like architecture, social issues, and people in
general. Ben says"There's always new influences to be
discovered so I try to
remain open and be aware of my surroundings while painting and in every
day life".
