{"title":"LUAP","description":"\u003cp\u003ePaul Robinson, known professionally as LUAP is a British contemporary artist.\u003cbr\u003eExploring existential subjects within a contemporary narrative his work stands alone in its composition and provoking content and subject matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis most iconic series depicts a Pink Bear come-to-life and placed in the real world acting as a metaphor for discovery and exploration. The costumed figure – a striking motif in his work – exists between reality and make-believe, youthful innocence and adult corruption, leading a lifestyle that looks simultaneously enviable and questionable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis painted artworks hint at abstract expressionism infused with the explosive energy and bold colour of Pop and Urban Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The complexity of Robinson’s imagery and overlaying of pattern has been informed by the work of Robert Rauschenberg. Robinson paints a world, which joins Christopher Wool’s fabric paintings with a 1970’s Peter Phillips pop landscape. These images are reminiscence of dream sequences from 1960’s films; a drug trip depicted in solarisation photography where the image recorded is wholly or partially reversed in tone.” Martin Maloney\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/www.thevaultcurated.art\/collections\/luap.oembed","provider":"The Vault Curated","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
