Artist Demonstration: Light As Subject with Emil Robinson

On Friday, March 7, Manifest Drawing Center will welcome artist Emil Robinson to our Central Parkway facility, where he will be conducting a 3-hour public demonstration of his painting technique and process (includes a 30-minute intermission). Emil will discuss each phase of his painting process while completing a painting in front of the audience. All attendees are encouraged to ask questions throughout the development of the artwork.

The demo is the introductory part of Robinsons' latest workshop with Manifest Drawing Center – Light As Subject: Color and Material Reality In Painting.

These tickets are specifically for the general public not enrolled in the workshop.

About the Instructor:

Emil Robinson received his master of fine arts degree from the University of Cincinnati in 2006 and his bachelor of arts from Centre College in Danville Kentucky in 2003. He has taught as a professor of art and design for almost twenty years. In 2007 he received a grant from the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation which allowed him to spend six months painting in London. In 2009, he was a prize winner in the Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. Recently Emil has been chosen for solo exhibitions in London and the Taft Museum of Art here in Cincinnati. Robinson maintains his own studio in Cincinnati Ohio and exhibits his paintings widely.

Manifest's mission is to stand for quality in the visual arts, as well as the importance of creative research, meaningful and accessible art-based experiences for the public, deep learning, and the rigorous documentation of exceptional art for posterity.

Our Drawing Center promotes and explores drawing, photography, and related activities as rich and culturally significant art forms through the pursuit of educational hands-on activities focused on visual literacy, critical thinking, and skill development.

Manifest's new facility, "M1" at 3464 Central Parkway, provides multiple studio classrooms, private lesson space, a darkroom, a film processing room, and a multi-purpose lecture and class meeting space as well as on-site parking, grounds, and exterior spaces in which to relax, discuss, and make art. The studios are outfitted with professional equipment, furniture, and study aids.
