JOSHUA ROBINSON

 

Joshua Robinson

 

Joshua Robinson was grown in Germany and born in England as Christopher J. Robinson.  As a child he moved with his family to Massachusetts, USA and proceeded to move about the state and through religious experiences.  Following a religious conversion Christopher became known as Yehoshua, or Joshua. Throughout his pupa stage young Joshua confined his work to comic book and fantasy art, while experimenting with body piercing and electrocution. In 1997 Joshua pursued his interest in the relationship between organic and mechanical forms at Mount Wachusett Community College’s fine art program. In 1999 he transferred to MassArt where he made a crude exploration of anger and depression in the realms of paint, film, and sculptural metals. After graduation with a BFA in 2002 Joshua was airshipped to Japan where he learned the special art of Nippon yelldrink.  After being transported back to the United States Joshua started to focus his work as empathetic, unreal portraits.  His work is now a semi-conscious manifestation of wandering and unease.  In 2003 Joshua fell out of a plane and lived. In 2004 Joshua published his comic, Blue Milk which can be currently viewed at Roundonline.com. Joshua Robinson can currently be found in Somerville, MA where he is picking up dead things with sticks and walking drunk on stilts.
