Lisa V Robinson: Colour & Form
As part of July’s Wakefield Artwalk, Westgate Studios are presenting a solo exhibition of work by studio holder Lisa V Robinson, whose paintings are underpinned with enquiries into mark making, colour and form. Elements taken from architecture, films, interiors and graffiti, fill vastly colourful canvases to create fusions between the abstract and the representational.
