The Victim, Robin White

The woman depicts the victim, who can neither look into the mirror (a reflection of her behavior), and it is doubtful that even if she did look, she may not see, as she is handicapped with a blindfold, which highlights her predicament. Additionally, the monkey as her enabler, is offering her a pillow, and the crocodile is the predator, always lurking. Her foundation is never good, as it is continually shrinking and fraying, evidenced by the tattered towel beneath her. The irony is that she is shackled to this life unless she can look into the mirror and by doing so, free herself. Otherwise, she is doomed to this charade, evidenced by her bright dancer's feathers and her costume.

Passive Aggressive, Robin White

This is a painting about not being able to be honest in a world where we have to hide our feelings. So to each other we appear agreeable, but behind backs we feel a different way.

Autumn, Robin White

Portrait of a woman with red hair, pale skin and turquoise eyes. Fully painted on sides to be able to hang without a frame.

Waiter on break, Robin White

When traveling to New Orleans recently. I snapped this waiter and I could tell when I was trying to frame the shot he was not comfortable with me taking his photo, so I had to do it a bit on the sly. I really thought it was quite an iconic slice of life from the famous Cafe du Monde.

Mark, Robin White

Expressive male figure coming out of the darkness.

Assembly Line, Robin White

Assembly Line provides a glimpse of the deconstruction of humanity, by utilizing the images of mannequins with interchangeable parts moving through an assembly line. The face represents an apparent aberration in which some partial leftover of a real human is left wondering what happened to her... This is my interpretation. Please feel free to let me know yours!
