Postcard Education... William Robinson

art. house. mum.

William Robinson is a contemporary Queensland artist who is most famous for his unique landscapes.  His signature format is to have a circular horizon line (rather than the traditional straight line horizon) working up to a spot vanishing point in the middle of the painted surface. 

I bought these postcards at our local regional gallery a few years ago when a touring exhibition of his artworks came through.  I used them when tutoring kids art to talk firstly about the unique idea of a dot point horizon...

And the use of a sense of humour in art...

And just to encourage students to enjoy these paintings which seem to say so much about the artist as well as the subject.

I find these artworks incredibly welcoming.  Do you?
