Using his branding expertise, Robin Austin now tells the stories of 20th and 21st-century icons like Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, Mick Jagger, the Beatles, and Barack Obama, immortalizing them in fresh, intricate mosaics. He begins each piece with extensive research, gathering thousands of images and carefully composes the “tiles” in a cohesive, large-scale portrait — a modern twist on iconography. His captivating work is collected worldwide. Robin’s upcoming exhibition at CODA Gallery will be A Visual Celebration of The Icons That Have Shaped Our Lives.
