Circus Lion

My approach

Oaxaca 2004Robin Paine is an artist noted for original and accomplished figurative drawings and paintings. She has developed her own lexicon of imagery drawn from her interest in mythology, anthropology, social history, Art history and Natural history.

"My paintings would probably be best described as "figurative" or "realist". I work from life whenever possible and I have found that this is essential when I'm painting people.

I have been affected by works of art from many periods, ranging from Roman Egyptian painted portraits to paintings of Gwen John, but I would also cite film (i.e. the early films of Jean Luc Godard) and photography (the German photographer August Sander) as sources of inspiration."
