CURRENT / UPCOMING EXHIBITIONS
ANTICS – STUDIO LA PRIMITIVE EXHIBITION 2026
ARTIST STATEMENT
Studio La Primitive presents ANTICS Exhibition 2026.
A series of drawings and paintings featuring the playful antics of humans.
The characters are framed in theatrical scenes.
Images of performers and dancers cavorting and frolicking.
Man, and beasts wrestling, lovers tussling and passionate wild woman with sensual eyes.
Figures are depicted with extreme graphic and stylised distortion. Thick outlines and bold colours.
Instead of canvas ceramic vessels were chosen to paint on, creating a whole new dimension for their work.
The love of drawing and painting the human figure led Eric and Robyn to exploring and expressing the dynamic and delicate nuances of the human form and psyche. A perpetual intrigue with the mysteries and absurdities of man’s existence.
“Exploring the world of human caprice, with sheer delight and a touch of irony.” – E&R
Eric and Robyn live and work as professional contemporary and collaborative artists in the Hunter Valley NSW. Together they exhibit under the title of Studio La Primitive. Both are award winning artists and have been Finalists in major Australian art prizes. Their work has been selected for exhibitions nationally and internationally.
From 2013 – 25 they established the successful Art and Literary online magazine – Studio La Primitive Arts Zine.
At present the artists are the subject of an award-winning documentary film made on their art and life – Eric & Robyn & the Mythical Beasts by film makers Nicky Elliott , Pete Delahunty and Tom Zubrycki.
