Nadine Robinson  incorporates various mediums and materials alongside traditional modernist and post-modernist strategies to explore social phenomena such as religion, sexuality, and classism; popular urban cultures like music and cinema; and historical fictions and non-fictions, including racism and historicism. Their creations—ranging from objects and events to installations—serve as conglomerates of ideas that are deeply personal yet resonate with universal narratives. Simultaneously, their work seeks to fuse defunct philosophical inquiries on existence, such as metaphysics (the unreal), with the practicalities and materials of working-class urbanism (the real).

Robinson integrates materials such as DJ equipment, hair extensions, and found recordings of Pentecostal readings, blending high art with street culture, the formal purity of abstraction with narrative expressions, and the fervent extremism of religious spirituality with the vernacular of hip-hop culture. Their art physically embodies the tensions between races, cultures, classes, and religious ideologies—tensions that not only defined America’s cultural past but continue to shape its present.
