Robin Seir works with monochrome paintings in black or copper. Across the surface, he repeats one or more simple geometric formations in combinations, which in turn form clusters that can be mirrored across the entire canvas. The canvases repeatedly measure either 190 x 70 or 37 x 26 cm, giving them proportions that either remind one of a full-figure human or of a portrait. The paintings thus oscillate between being an object, on par with the observer, and being a surface that engulfs the field of vision.
