Few observe Arthur Robins' work with indifference.  Viewers are enthralled by bold strokes and colors, otherworldly figures and visages, and the air of mystery and gloom that often envelop Robins' art.  Others find the kineticism, grittiness, cultural commentary and spiritual quotient off-putting and, even, disturbing.  I doubt Robins would have it any other wa

Robins paints from a place where reality, memory, imagination and the dreams world meet.  An intersection in Robins' mind that, coupled with his supreme gifts as a draughtsman, create some of the most unique and hitherto unimaginable images in existence.  Who else could have a subway painting swirl into a cityscape and spiral into the vastness of outer space in a single painting?  The provence and providence of the infinite is the realm of Robins.

This exhibition includes 30 of Robins' cityscapes, ranging from blanched and haunted subway ruminations to colorful impasto park pieces to Times Square captured in the full frontal of action, decadence and seduction.  Eliciting the magic and mystery, the glory and gloom, the people and passageways of the modern city, Robins creates an utterly original and profound visual poetry.  These paintings will be remembered far into the future.
