Tony Robbin

Tony Robbin is an author and an artist who works with painting, sculpture, and computer visualizations. He has done over 25 solo exhibitions and has been included in over 100 group exhibitions in 12 countries. He is known for his application of Quasicrystal geometry to architecture, and has even been able to implement this geometry for a large scale sculpture in two places, one at the Danish Technical University in Kongens, Lyngby, Denmark, and another for the city of Jacksonville, Florida. 

This is an example of a quasicrystal image:

                Robbin’s has been successful in combining such things as Cubism and contemporary physics that he has created two- and three-dimensional representations of four-dimensional space (Hertz 15). This caught my eye because I really liked the color scheme as well as the way the objects break through the frame of the picture. It almost has a linear sense to it, but having objects come out of the frame seems to break that a little. I also really like that he uses a color pallet that goes well together. One is able to pick out familiar shapes which is very interesting because you can see the framework of the objects.

                If I were to critique this at all, I wonder how he would be able to press through the paintings he does; that is, how could he make it even more intricate? If he were to apply non-geometric shapes along with geometric shapes, I think that would be very interesting.
