Robin Grindley is known for these bold, colourful interpretations of various subject matters, mainly landscapes and florals arrangements. His work is pretty dreamy, and I think very effective at providing the viewer a colourful escape. Around the Block would get many of his smaller works in, and they were continually popular.
I found a great quote from Mr. Grindley on Saatchiart’s website:
“I've always wanted to say ... "I'm a saucy Cancer who enjoys walks on the beach" ... but the fact is I'm a pretty happy guy, living in a small community close to my partner's family, surrounded by great friends. I started painting late in life, prompted by great support from friends, and consider myself very fortunate to be able to call myself a painter.
Grindley is self taught, and came to Canada from Scotland as a child. His art is widely available on the secondary market, and through more traditional galleries. He currently lives in St. Thomas, the home of his partner, Neil.
