Presented by the Broadmead Arts Council, the exhibition is open to the public.Best known for his realistic sporting life and equine-related paintings, All the World is a Stage showcases another aspect of Sam Robinson’s work and features figures and portraits that capture specific moments of expressed feeling.  “That feeling might not be obvious, it is more often a sense of presence I look for”, says Robinson.  The exhibited works are painted in a looser more impressionistic style and offer viewers a different facet of Robinson’s work.
