CODA Gallery is pleased to present "The Cultural Icons," an exhibition of new photo mosaic stories by acclaimed artist, Robin Austin. Come meet Robin at an artist reception on Friday, April 3, from 4 - 7 pm. Exhibition runs through April 17.
In a world overflowing with forgotten photos, Robin Austin's photo mosaics invite renewed reflection. Born in Leeds, England, Robin has always been a storyteller, beginning his journey in marketing and brand promotion. Today, he channels his creative vision into art, crafting digital mosaics from images that reveal his deep devotion to storytelling and our shared cultural heritage.
Using his branding expertise, Robin Austin now tells the stories of 20th and 21st-century icons like Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, Bruce Springstein, Mick Jagger, the Beatles, and Arnold Palmer, immortalizing them in fresh, intricate mosaics. He begins each piece with extensive research, gathering thousands of images, and carefully composes the "tiles" in a cohesive, large-scale portrait – a modern twist on iconography. Robin’s captivating work is collected worldwide.
