Phil Robbins' work explodes with energy.  It engages your attention immediately - it connects with something
deep inside  - challenging and exciting.   

The dual nature of all our feelings - sorrow and joy - anger and love - active and passive - organic and 
inorganic - restrained and free - is visible in the deep black backgrounds giving way to dancing energy.

Each work seems to have its own pulse which transmits to the viewer - recharging.


"We are like bundles of energy dancing along some multi dimensional thread within these infinite impossibilities 
laughing crying making life making contact with other people  things – solids – liquids (when we’re lucky) 
–  sounds  –  gases even –- we observe and guess and do our best to understand - having fun seems to work. 

The connection between the energy of the universe and our experience as human beings is beautiful to me
and what I explore in my work.    Energy flows – it rises and falls within us like a tide– we are jostled by everyday
noise – and yet sometimes we can feel the long slow tides of our essence - the slower rhythms which perhaps do 
not end with death."
