Raised on Waiben and now Cairns-based, Brian Robinson has become known for his printmaking, sculpture and public art in which he uses a variety of techniques to produce bold, innovative and distinctive works.

Robinson’s ancestral lineage extends back to the Maluyligal people of Torres Strait and the Wuthathi people from Cape York Peninsula. His artworks present an intoxicating worldview. Graphic prints and contemporary sculptures read as episodes in an intriguing narrative, revealing the strong tradition of storytelling within his family and his community.

Robinson has contributed significantly to the built environment of numerous cities across the country through a number of major public art commissions since 1998 and his work has featured in many exhibitions nationally and internationally.
