SUMMARY:Member’s Spotlight Exhibition: Simon Robins: Sociable
DESCRIPTION:June 5-27\, 2026 Opening Reception: June 5\, 6-8 pm The paintings in Simon Robins: Sociable\, contain imagery sourced from public domain and found photographs discovered through extensive research by the artist in digital archives. Cropping\, recoloring\, and recontextualizing these images\, Robins transforms fragments of anonymous histories into works that feel at once familiar and elusive. Robins’ practice is deeply informed by his work as a collections librarian and faculty member at University of Dayton\, where he regularly navigates institutional archives and historical image collections. By removing photographs from their original context\, his paintings invite viewers to reconsider how images shape collective memory and how archives reflect systems of power\, inclusion\, and omission. In these works\, Robins explores themes of social alienation\, belonging\, and the quiet tensions embedded within everyday interactions. His paintings evoke the visual language of post-war photography and design while raising timely questions about authorship\, historical bias\, and the lingering influence of institutional narratives. Through carefully composed and psychologically charged imagery\, Robins creates space for reflection on the ways people connect\, observe\, and exist within larger social structures. About the Artist: Originally from Portland\, Oregon and now based in Dayton\, Simon Robins has exhibited his work at the Dayton Society of Artists\, Rosewood Arts Center\, and The Contemporary Dayton. In 2025\, he received First Place in the Dayton Society of Artists Annual Members’ Exhibition and Second Place in The Contemporary Dayton’s Juried Members’ Exhibition. Robins earned a BA in History and Art History from Portland State University and a Master of Library and Information Studies from University of British Columbia. He currently works as a collections librarian and faculty member at the University of Dayton\, where his engagement with digital archives directly informs his artistic practice.
