"Robins's depictions of pool players include an environment -- the pool parlor and its denizens. Often from overhead, he pictures the players in the act of shooting. His knowledge of this game informs the players' positions and ball formations. The two -- players and balls -- are the most prominent elements in these depictions. The distorted angles used by the artist are echoed in the angle of the pool players' shots. The geometry of the game as well as the players' concentration are translated into a painting suggesting the intensity of a moment." Judy Collischan
