Art Collective WA presents Re-pose, a solo exhibition by Western Australian artist Kevin Robertson, on view from October 31 to November 28, 2026, in Perth. The exhibition features a recent series of large-scale paintings developed through the direct observation of human figures and the incorporation of images drawn from art museums, figurines and trophies. Bringing together these diverse visual references, Robertson reconstructs familiar forms within new and unexpected environments.

Through these combinations, the artist creates psychological scenes that evoke dream-like states, where figures and objects appear suspended between recognition and uncertainty. Intense colour plays a central role in shaping these compositions, giving rise to atmospheres marked by ambiguity, doubt and confusion. Rather than presenting these conditions as purely unsettling, Robertson explores their aesthetic potential, finding beauty in the enigmatic relationships established between the elements within each painting.

The unexpected associations between figures, objects and settings generate visually charged spaces that invite viewers to reconsider how images acquire meaning and how different references can coexist. By transforming observed subjects and collected imagery into unfamiliar scenarios, Re-Pose explores the boundaries between reality, memory and imagination.
