Jay Robinson: Quarks, Leptons and Peanuts

Saturday, Mar 28, 2015 — Sunday, Jun 21, 2015



This exhibition featured the work Jay Robinson has created since a fire in the mid-1990s destroyed much of his home and his studio. Since then, Robinson has changed the direction of his work and reinvented himself as an artist. While his later works may call to mind the work of Joan Miró, this interpretation would miss the way in which these paintings return to a key interest of his early career: the nature of the universe, especially as understood through particle physics. In the works of art in this exhibition, Robinson explores the universe and presents his imaginings of subatomic particles and their fundamental fields.
