Renee Robbins



As a painter Renee displays a vivid use of color in her work. With the use of rhythmic lines and meticulous textures, Renee creates a landscape of mind, referencing the molecular, biological, architectural and cultural views in her work. This is used as the metaphor for how our exterior and interior selves come together. Renee creates these hybrid forms through the use of layers the paint with thin washes and glazes. She also applies modeling and gel medium to create a complex build up for a layered effect. Creating this atmosphere within her work, she is able to show the complexity within the detailed painting of the piece. This layering effect gives suggestion to the layers and complexity of the human mind. Renee will add to the complexity with the use of mixed media, adding string, paper, sand, fabric and lace to her work.
