Annie Robinson
Home from Church - Acrylic on Canvas
Born
in Belfast, daughter of the legendary Markey Robinson, Annie was exposed to the
art world from a young age and spent much of her childhood traveling the Irish
countryside with her father. During these travels Annie fell in love with the
simple rural life of the Irish countryside with its serene fishing villages and
cottages so avidly captured in her father's art. These early childhood memories
became the basis for much of her art in later life.
At
the age of twelve Annie emigrated to America with her mother and sister. Annie
went on to study at the University of Washington in Seattle where she took
part-time art classes at the Cornish Art School. She later travelled
extensively throughout the United States, the Pacific Islands and to Australia and
New Zealand. Annie eventually settled in Hawaii where she remained for seven
years, painting scenes of rural Polynesian life.
Annie
has said, "In a strange way my father and I were drawn to life and art in
similar ways. I think the joy and romance of a moment of life was the same for
both of us and that is what we try to communicate as artists."
For
her landscapes Annie works solely from her imagination, drawing upon her
childhood experience of traveling around the Irish countryside with Markey, for
inspiration. As well as her father, Annie names Vincent Van Gogh and Paul
Gauguin as influences and Dan O'Neill and Nora McGuiness as her favourite Irish
Artists.
Her
works contain the same flat plains of un-modulated colour which is so
characteristic of her father's work, but in Annie's work the sombre, muted
earth tones used by Markey are replaced with a more vivid and vibrant palette.
Although
both Markey and Annie share a nostalgic and idealistic view of rural Ireland,
Markey's landscapes have a sense of sadness and regret and a disconnection
from the modern world whereas Annie's works are a joyous celebration of rural
Irish life, inviting the viewer to partake in that joy. This celebration of a
simpler life is something that Annie finds very important in the current
economic climate. As a way to combat the recession, she recommends trading in
the busy stressful, urban life and in her own words; "getting a cottage with
chickens and a goat and cutting some peat".
