The Art of David J. Robinson

David J. Robertson is a contemporary artist who creates a large spectrum of art with an emphasis on color and texture. From paintings and sculptures to jewelry, clothing and furniture – his work is constantly evolving in a state of vivid discovery. Currently, David’s new art utilizes sensuous shapes across embellished, reflective surfaces such as Swarovski Crystal Elements, broken glass, ceramics and mylar chips which he cuts from recycled compact disks. All of which are beautifully enhanced when illuminated on exhibit, coming to life in a burst of color.
