Sally Robinson
An exhibition of works from over 50 years in the making by artist Sally Robinson, a Sydney-based artist born in the UK who studied at the National Art School in Sydney from 1970-1973. During the 1970s and ‘80s, Robinson was one of the leading exponents of Australian printmaking.
Her screenprints, featuring areas of bold, bright colour, were acquired by public collections throughout Australia and she received many commissions for print series. In the 1990s she turned to painting and in 1999 made her first appearance in the Archibald Prize as a portrait painter.
Her technique requires the use of stencils to create a dynamic pixellated surface texture, reminiscent of the fine dots on the silkcreen press, re-imagined in her paintings.
