Sam Robbins has been engaged in creative practice since 1985, producing work in painting drawing and photography. There is a timelessness to his art which is obsessively influenced by the times and locations at or in which person and environment collide or collaborate, where the raw ingredients of recollection occur.

An early career in H.M.Forces where his training in photography was utilised in varied military contexts led to a fifteen year career as a photojournalist in the east of England, culminating in a decade long period as a Staff Photographer with the Eastern Daily Press, ending in 2007.

Teaching art and photography part time to allow time for the development of his painting, he gained a Masters degree in Fine Art from Norwich University of the Arts in 2013. The NUA Permanent Collection purchased two pieces from his final show.

Often rendered in situ in traditional oil paint or charcoal Robbins’ small works offer an attempt to record his immediate emotional response to the environmental conditions of the north Norfolk coast and its hinterland.

Larger work is made in the studio in traditional oil paint, from drawn painted and photographic reference. The aim of these pieces is the distillation or coalescence of a series of fleetingly observed moments into a more considered permanent state.
