CLEVELAND, Ohio — Cincinnati-based artist Emil Robinson takes nothing for granted. He’s a first-class noticer of everything, especially miracles of light falling on surfaces in the simplest and dullest surroundings. He celebrates the magnificent mundanity of the everyday. He’s a poet of emptiness.

 

Robinson’s softly brushed paintings of vacant, white-walled interiors, slightly open doorways and landscapes glimpsed through bare windows, show that even the humblest surroundings can fire his imagination.
