Lot Essay
"Because the paintings are the result of experience, i.e. time spent in the landscape and watching the changes that appear from one time to another, they are not 'instants'of time any more than they are instants of place. They are about evocation, which produces feelings in me. I paint always as though I am literally in the landscape while the brush marks are making it. My intention is never to create a 'goldfish view'. This implies that the same traditional one standpoint of the observer is used to look in different directions. This is in fact not so. The observer or the painter is included in the picture as a traveller, in the same way that we would walk around a landscape.
The development of multi viewpoint in space with the landscape requires much explanation, but all I seem to return to are the fugues of Bach. They begin with a subject: this is repeated in other subjects and answered in various voices. They are interconnected with sequences and layer on layer of key modulations. They can be inverted, augmented, diminished, and partial or fragmented.
The mathematics is complete but not exact. Bach can organically arrange the construction to suit the needs of the complete composition." (L Klepac, William Robinson paintings 1987-2000, Sydney, 2001, p. 105)
