David Robinson (artist)

Born in Toronto, David Robinson entered the Fine Arts stream in high school specializing in sculpture.

[5][6] Robinson's sculptures incorporate a variety of materials ranging from bronze, steel and silver to concrete, mirror and paper.

[13] Windward Calm is a kinetic suspended sculpture installed at the Gordon and Leslie Diamond Centre at Vancouver General Hospital in 2018.

Robinson was inspired to create the piece while spending time at VGH recovering from a cardiac valve repair.

[14][15] The sculpture hangs from a custom winching system and travels vertically through the 7-storey glass atrium, while rotating in the air currents.
