Bio.

Yasmine Robinson (b, 1994, Derry), is a Belfast based artist and lecturer at Belfast School of Art.

Yasmine Robinson’s work explores the relationship to place as both subject and experience. Rooted in abstract painting, her lively compositions disrupt expectations as they bulge, curl, and pulse beyond the frame—evoking a sense of defiance and whimsy. Her work questions what painting is, how it is made, and, ultimately, how it feels.

Robinson graduated from Chelsea College of Art London with a Masters in Fine Art (2018), having previously studied BA Fine Art at Ulster University, Belfast (2017). In 2017 she was awarded the Frank Bowling Scholarship to support her studies at Chelsea College of Art. Robinson is a studio holder and current member at Queen Street Studios Belfast (QSS),
