John Robinson
Born in Worcester, 1981
John Robinson is an internationally exhibited artist whose practice bridges painting, performance, and the questioning of self-representation. Trained at Falmouth College of Arts and mentored by the late Robert Lenkiewicz, Robinson was awarded the Richard Ford Scholarship at the Royal Academy, leading to a residency at Madrid’s Prado Museum, where he perfected his skillset among the works of Velázquez and Goya. Robinson’s accolades include the Hauser & Wirth Painting Prize, (Somerset, UK) the Premio de Pintura Focus-Abengoa (Seville, Spain), and the Peter Spicer Award for Excellence in Creative Arts. His work is housed in private and public collections such as University of the Arts London, the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, and the Wellcome Collection London.
