WORLDS OF GLACIERS

Photography by Ingo Robin

Ingo Robin, who has been photographing commercially since the early nineties, has done so from the very beginning with a passion and professionalism that jumps towards us from his pictures. While initially it was wehraufträge for labels such as Nike, Adidas or Hugo Boss, he soon switched to magazines such as Max, Vogue, the SZ Magazine and later to the Stern, for which he photographed large photo sections. In 2012 he finished his commercial work and from then on devoted himself exclusively to art. The artist has a great sense of taking up and reinterpreting moments of history, mythology and even pop culture. No way is too far and no photo equipment too difficult to implement his motifs. He encounters his diverse themes without reservations, engages in an open play with the protagonists and gives us the impulse to reconsider perspectives and paradigms again and again. It is important to him to transfer his own enthusiasm to the viewer of his paintings. He wants the spark to skip. He succeeds in an impressive way on the one hand through his highly personal imagery, on the other hand through a monumental size and subtlety of the images, always at the maximum technical possibilities.Robin worked in art at first to stage people abstractly. Five years ago, he changed the genre again to find abstract forms in nature. First it was the Alps in the winter months and glaciers in summer! Erosion tectonics, faults, wind and weather, along with ash rains from volcanoes. This makes glaciers and mountains so unique! Especially with glaciers, this interplay is unique and the moment fleeting! Robin loves to get to operating temperature through the long distances to his spots, only to be awake at the right moment.
