Tony Robbin

Robbin is an American artist and author born in November of 1943.  He specializes in sculpture, paintings, and digital art. Robbin is also a part of the artists in the Pattern and Decoration (P&D) art movement. That is a movement in the mid-1970s to early 1980s involving the focus in minor forms, patterning, in art. His work shows true exampled of such activism in the movement.

Quasicrystal geometry in architecture is an idea that he discovered.  That is, an object that is ordered but not periodic. These patterns fill the entirety of space and can have only two, three, four, and six-fold rotational symmetries. This imaging is similar to those of a kaleidoscope pattern, with many differently oriented mandala-like objects with countless differing shapes and colors.

His digital art uses the fourth dimension, common among cubists, surrealists, and many other abstract artists. Robbin wrote multiple books; among these is his Shadows of Reality,The Fourth Dimension in Relativity, Cubism, and Modern Thought. He has used this technique since 1981, using Quasicrystal geometry and the fourth dimension.
