“…Robins uses warped perspectives to powerful psychological effect in these tunnel scenes and in a series of images he made of all-night billiard halls. In o­ne, a shiny black eight ball dwarfs the surrounding players; in another, a corner pocket looms in the foreground like a yawning abyss. The artist paints confidently, as though determined to get his thoughts out quickly in a kind of colorful automatic writing.”  Sarah Schmerler, “New World Art Center Exhibit,” Art News February 1998

Gallery Diamante in Carmel, CA, the parent company of POOLPAINTINGS.COM, opened a year ago showcasing the Expressionist paintings of New York Artist Arthur Robins.  Robins’ work covers genre as varied and eclectic as city-subway scenes to biblical paintings.
