Robin Light is an Edmonton-based artist in many respects; she acts and writes in addition to painting in oils and watercolour. Her paintings are influenced by the iconic painter Bob Ross, who emphasized simplicity and the incorporation of nature. Light’s work brilliantly thematically fuses both the industrialized urban landscape of the city, with gorgeously saturated trees, saplings, and shrubs. Furthermore, Light’s focus on traditional and rural architecture gives their work a dreamy rural-Albertan undertone.
Light’s brick and mortar structures, picketed fences, and their vibrant pigmentation, calls back to an era of calm familiarity and captures Canadian traditionalist culture. The integration of nature into the city’s urban environment is seamless, the congested proximity of the buildings enhances the work’s sense of community and belonging. The rustic style of the buildings offers a homey and welcoming ambience. Their oil-based texture creates a highly stimulating sense of depth and detail that respects the complexity of the building’s architecture.
