In his art, Michael Robbins concentrates upon the elements of speed and motion and how they relate to atmosphere, light and colors. An original linocut, "Spirit of Speed I" (Airplane in Motion) was printed and published in 1989 in a limited edition of forty-five signed impressions. Each impression was hand-colored by the artist, who used differing ranges of tones and values to explore the facets of speed and color. Thus every impression is a unique work of art.
