Robin Obitz (born in 1989) is a painter based in Marseille.
His work explores the tensions between figuration and construction, between surface and structure.
For several years, he has been developing a precise pictorial language, where modern architecture, mental landscapes, and stylized figures coexist in calm, almost suspended frontal compositions. Long attached to a certain formal rigor and precision of line, he is now leaning towards more spontaneity in brushwork and composition.
An empty space — white or colored — recurs in his recent paintings, acting as a pause or a point of tension that silently structures the image. His work draws from collected images, recomposed memories, and fragments of modernist interiors. The human figure, long kept at a distance, has recently made a return in archetypal forms, often in tension with abstract or symbolic landscapes.
Robin Obitz composes silent images, where the gaze moves between diffuse narrative, color planes, and geometric structures. His painting seeks to inhabit both space and image, in a constant quest for balance between construction, memory, and intuition.
