Peter Robinson’s solo exhibition Charcoal Drawing has recently opened at the Whangārei Art Museum in Whangārei, Aoetearoa New Zealand.
Stretching across two spaces of the museum, the exhibition features an assembly of congruent quasi-sculptures. Posited here as line drawings conducted in space, Robinson’s liberal and malleable handling of the material gestures toward rudimentary or reduced forms such as spirals, ships or waves. Composed of a burnt-wood-veneer aluminium, Robinson’s installation makes reference to the longstanding Minimalist interest in a phenomenological experience of sculpture in the museum space with each outstretching yet recoiling sculpture indiscriminately plotting various lengths of the gallery.
