Surface Tension

Lisa-Marie Robinson

Mixed media on canvas (textural medium, acrylic)

100 × 70 cm ( unframed ) 

Original artwork 

A sculptural abstract defined by its heavily textured surface, where thick, layered material is worked and carved into organic, shifting forms. The palette is restrained soft greys and muted tones dominate allowing the complexity of the texture to take centre stage.

Subtle flashes of colour emerge from within the surface, like fragments breaking through or hidden energy beneath a calm exterior. The composition feels both raw and controlled, with sweeping, almost geological movements across the canvas.

Balancing minimalism with intensity, the piece invites close viewing, its physical depth and tactile quality creating a quiet, immersive presence. A refined yet powerful work that brings texture, structure, and understated energy and fun into a space.
