Transit State features new paintings which reflect on the artist's recent travel to India . Similar, to a collection of postcards, these intimate paintings present sunsets, colonial architecture and the everyday happenings of the city. The imagery has been treated with rich, sun-burnt colours to evoke the blinding hazy heat experienced by the artist. Drawing on part documentary, part imagination and memory this work offers an exciting encounter with a mystical land.

The Quiet Room is Robinson's first solo exhibition and features paintings depicting the subtlety of domestic interiors and the everyday. All paintings have been fitted in a collection of vintage (and vintage style) frames. Robinson has accumulated these frames for a number of years and is interested in their past history. For this body of work, the frames have been restored, refinished and matched with an image which shares that nostalgic feeling – giving a reflection of its past home. The intention was to give the viewer a glimpse of another era, a quiet moment often overlooked and captured in a mirror.

Lee Robinson is a Wellington based artist and has been developing her painting practice for the past five years.
