Street Art: Rene Robbins uses space and shape to produce breathtaking art

The Big Issue's Street Art page gives talented, marginalised individuals an outlet for creative expression

‘Allsorts’
By Rene Robbins

The daughter of an architect, Rene is a sprightly 90-year-old, who enjoys sketching nature and wildlife, but finds herself instinctively returning to abstract geometric patterns and collage. She submits her artworks via the 240 Project, a West London arts and health activity centre for people affected by homelessness and exclusion.
