Robbins, Brown and Green share a playful, spontaneous, and improvisatory aesthetic. Robbins will show paintings and assemblages from their Brown Series. The color brown conjures warm interiors that crack open to the outside world. Brown will show a group of masks, fetishes and sculptures that are simultaneously profound and playful. He uses repurposed and natural materials. Green will display oil paintings and mixed media collages that hum with rhythm and movement, and connection.
