COULD BE CONTINUED 1977 Geraldine Neeson- Irish Contemporary Art/Knowles/Wolfhound Press. "Technical brilliance, a commendable indulgence in strong well controlled colour and excellent drawing are features of Alan Robbs work. Machine structures and fragments of body parts are shown with great disclipline of form and colour.He has a gift for presenting,textures metals,fabrics,plastics. He understands to the passion for speed in todays pattern of life, a pattern lived on the surface, seeking distraction in the shape of sensation.Ephemeral and cruel but prevalent." |
