Morgan Robinson
Morgan Robinson says, “I attempt to stay clear of the mundane by taking a closer look at the things that can do nothing else but encompass my sight. Unable to ignore organic language, I follow the indigenous bends in pieces of nature. There is no part of my environment too obscure to inspire. Refracted light and shadows overlapping as well as elements that can be held in your hand or seen with a magnifying glass – they all hold purpose and contain beauty. The beauty perceived is what suggests a more insightful, more meaningful spirituality. The meaning projects out of imagination and undeniable existence, and attraction is seen from a vast array of perspectives. My works are inspired by the potential in organic shapes that surround us in our daily lives. Whether we acknowledge the potential or not can be a conscious choice. Typically these shapes, in their actual forms, are disregarded as uninteresting or useless. These shapes come in the form of shadows, branches, reflections, stains, liquids, cells, nerves, bones, scars, horns, postures, fruit, vegetables, insects, clouds, rocks, moss, texture in walls & ceilings, just to name a few. Once an intriguing shape captures my attention, I record it in a sketch and play its potential with my imagination to work into a sculpture or furniture piece. Eventually, I express the shape to be realized, with wood and metal in such a way that chords a feeling in which words cannot touch.”

- Chochin WhiteBy Morgan RobinsonLocated in Tulsa, OKChochin by Morgan Robinson is a white contemporary abstract sculpture design made wenge and stacked laminated baltic birch and measures 18 x 28 and is priced at $5600 An artist from Stillwater, Oklahoma working primarily with wood and metal. I received my BFA in sculpture from the University of Central Oklahoma where I had the freedom to experiment with furniture as art. After finishing my bachelor’s degree, I went and worked as a custom cabinet maker for 5 years. The cabinetry helped refine wood working skills and techniques. I then took advantage of an opportunity to further my skills traveling to Japan and learning traditional methods of wood working used for centuries. Upon returning back to my home town here in Stillwater, I have set up my woodworking studio and am focusing on merging eastern philosophies of minimalism and sculptural form into a functional beautiful artistic statement to add to the quality of our daily lives.

Morgan Robinson says he was always intrigued with the reflections he saw in the school bus windows as a child. “I wasn’t as interested in what was outside the window as I was in the images the sunlight was creating on the window,” Robinson said. That interest never waned. Indeed, it grew into a passion that would lead Robinson to Mexico and Japan seeking new ways to turn the images in his mind into the creations he would eventually show in art galleries in other countries and at home. Studio Artist Beginnings As a college student at the University of Central Oklahoma, Robinson studied jewelry making. He learned to work with metal designing and making small items such as pendants. He soon moved from jewelry to metal castings and decided to pursue metal as a medium for his art. Eager to discover new tools and techniques, he took a job at a foundry in Ponca City. “I was still trying to understand metal,” Robinson said. “I went to Mexico and worked in a foundry there when I was 21. I learned to use tools I would have never been exposed to here.” Soon he was casting tables...Category

- Forget Me NotBy Heidi SpectorLocated in Montreal, QuebecHeidi Spector is a geometric artist best known for her exploration of minimalism as studied through lines, repetition, color and reflection. Spector’s work has been the subject of numerous solo and group shows including exhibitions in Montreal, London, Paris, Los Angeles, Houston, Miami, and New York. Her work is included in several corporate, private and museum collections worldwide. Her paintings and sculptural cubes composed of acrylic painted as bands of color on Russian birch, are topped with resin, creating a surface where candy-like colors pulse and dance together, alluding to the impact of popular music on her work. Referred to by the artist as “geometric minimalism,” Spector purposefully avoids injecting specific emotional content to her paintings, instead opting for bold color choices that quickly establish an upbeat and lively mood. Her shining repetitive pattern of vertical or horizontal stripes project a natural sense of optimism and joy informed by the techno beats and self-absorption of club life. Spector’s paintings are influenced by popular music, taking on titles based on song lyrics by artists as varied as Duke Ellington, Roxy Music...Category
