Robin Clark is an artist from Doncaster, South Yorks, living and working in London for the last 9 years, and graduated with a BA Fine Art from Chelsea College of Arts (UAL) in 2017.

Night Out (acrylic paint and frosted paper collage, 2023) depicts an imagined 1980s club toilet interior, a non-domestic space within female/femme leisure involving making up, refreshing, socialising and community. As is common in the artist’s work, objects indicate the presence of people, despite their absence. The “smoke and mirrors” of feminine gender presentation is also alluded to among the objects, and a certain gloss and glamour characteristic of the era is indicated by the interior’s décor. Frosted paper collage indicates a mirror, but ironically refuses the viewer’s reflection.
