Google translated review in of Current show in Brussels - Mu in the City - Visual Arts Magazine The Pale Roses of Robin Mason These are very large formats of a pink universe, punk, haunting, humorous and so British invading Hangar H18 for the first exhibition of the Gallery. Robin Mason, born in 1958 in Wales, is an artist living in London whose work explores a universe teeming on the border between art history, comics and pop art. Discovering for the first time The Isenheim altarpiece dedicated to Saint Anthony, work of two great German masters of the late Gothic - the painter Matthias Grünewald for the painted panels (1512-1516) and Nicolas de Haguenau prior sculpted part (around 1490) - Robin Mason is fascinated by the multiple playback options of this masterpiece. It feeds in to put on huge canvases dreamlike landscapes, wacky, multiple vanishing points and populated by strange creatures. In a forest of black and white trees, deer Cyclops fuchsia roses. On a table, strange red fruit. A mirror in wooden frame echoes stranded pieces of trunks here and there. A tree with flexible branches bears flowers that look like pussies ... Its a pretty punk iconography alphabet Mason spreads. It assumes a clear affiliation with soft shapes and dreamed landscapes of Dali. His painters world is well fed his meetings with masterpieces of art history or literature. It starts early, when as a teenager he traveled to Germany with his parents. The title of the exhibition, Why Are The Roses so Pale? refers to the work of Heinrich Heine, a major romantic poet of the nineteenth century, including Robin Mason loves to learn. We advanced a series of large drawings in black ink, some illuminated a touch of bright red: evocative landscapes on the way of the magic lantern. And the series of sculptures-objects created in collaboration with his wife, Debra Allman, designer jewelry. Hangar H18 is a new art center dedicated to art. Exposing and expose them either in the Gallery, the choice of its artistic director Sophie Hasaerts, formerly Director Nathalie Obadia gallery or in the Openspace artists who will want to rent chair railing.
