Dan Robinson

Daniel Robinson was born in Buffalo, New York, in 1963. The son of a part-time preacher, Robinson



moved from New York to Colorado, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Idaho, and then finally to Oregon, where



he attended high school and later the Pacific Northwest College of Art and Portland State University,



earning a B.A. in Fine Art from the latter in 1991. He lives in Fossil, Oregon with his wife and two



children. Depicting relics of post-industrial life in glowing natural landscapes, Daniel Robinson



reimagines the precisionist tradition of American painting where he draws on his rural surroundings



for inspiration. His works capture the sweeping natural beauty of the Western landscape, often in



luminescent dusk or dawn lighting, but also incorporate angular architectural features, such as roads



or industrial buildings, to offset nature’s organic curves. He has exhibited frequently in Oklahoma



and Arizona and is the recipient of numerous awards.
