Here Comes Mummy
By Colin Robinson
About this art
Genre: Abstract
Medium: Other media
Size: 46.00cm x 31.00cm
Year: 2005
On A3+ limited to 25 signed giclée prints. I don't remember how the idea for this came about when I first sketched it in the early 1970s and shot the photographs of the girl and the shoes. The room and the hair came much later and the montage was completed in 2005. The model is reminiscent of Allen Jones' furniture. Reality rules on the left but weakens on the right; the treatment over there – whence comes Mummy – owes more to the comic strip.

About the artist
The 1960s' pop artists blew away the rulebook. I’m not comfortable with categories like fine art or graphic art. In the spectrum of 2D imagery, I am between photography and graphics. Pixel technology suits me. Technology and art spark off ideas in the other. Artists have always exploited new technologies, materials and tools (Vermeer the camera obscura; Degas high speed photography; Paolozzi screen-printing; Donaldson acrylic paint; Hockney Polaroids; Hamilton the laser printer). While my pictures have a photographic provenance, I allow the photography, computer and painting overtly to affect the results. I leave some photos as shot but, just as I used to discover previously unnoticed elements of a picture under the darkroom enlarger and in the chemicals' dish, now I explore what is revealed on the computer screen. Collages of negatives and drawings are appearing. Sixties art remains a seminal influence. I'm not the first to make analogies and to discover the commonalities between the branches of arts and crafts. Raking over my past and my collections, I am confronting my personality and sexuality, distilling what I find. I am exploring and expressing my emotions. Is this it?
