Robin Austin
"Robin is a force of nature, an aesthetic alchemist who converts cultural emotionality into his signature portraits, igniting smiles and attracting fans worldwide." - Gene Seidman, New York art dealer.
Robin Austin has always been a storyteller - whether earlier in his career, marketing successful global companies, or as the co-founder and creative visionary of Fusion 5, a global branding firm, or now as an artist - creating a rich landscape reflecting images of our shared cultural heritage.
Each signed and limited edition work is a visual celebration of the moments captured in time. The genius of Robin's art work - is in the exhaustive research that goes into each photo canvas - deftly and artistically composed of photos relevant to the subject. The result - a retelling or chronicling of the spirit of pop culture. With thousands of images - you never look at one of pieces in the same way twice, with each viewing revealing a facet of the story anew. It's all there: movies, music, fashion, sex, sports, politics, current events - the iconic people and symbols that make up our culture.
"Robin is a force of nature, an aesthetic alchemist, who converts cultural emotionality into his signature portraits, igniting smiles and attracting fans worldwide", says Gene Seidman his New York art dealer.
