Walter Robinson (1950-2025)

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Walter Robinson, a cherished artist whose bold vision and distinct voice have left an indelible mark on contemporary art. In times when ego and self-celebration prevail, his modesty and willingness to push others forward will never be forgotten.

Walter was a brilliant multi-faceted artist: painter, writer, editor, critic. In his artistic practice, he translated the visual language of consumerism and desire into works that were as thought-provoking as they were visually captivating. His ability to elevate the everyday and explore the boundaries between high and low culture made his work timeless and resonant.

Working alongside Walter all these years was a privilege. His keen eye, wit, and generosity of spirit will be profoundly missed.

Our thoughts are with his wife, daughter, family and all those whose lives were touched by this amazing man.

Sébastien, Joana and Pol.
