Artist of the Week: Joey M. Robinson, Seattle-based contemporary artist
Seattle Refined's 'Artist of the Week' feature spotlights Joey M. Robinson, a Seattle-based contemporary artist whose work explores movement, emotion, and color through layered abstract compositions. Robinson has been creating art for over two decades, with his work exhibited at the Seattle Art Museum and held in private collections. He is donating a selection from his Black Maid Tributes series to the Lifelong Pride Gala's live auction, which will take place in Seattle on June 13. The series, inspired by the 1967 shooting death of his mother's best friend, a maid named Lois Spellman, aims to honor the humanity of disadvantaged women. Robinson works primarily in acrylic and canvas, and also uses encaustic painting.
