Central Stories is delighted to present “More Wine Please,” a charming solo exhibition by Alexandra-based artist Katie Robinson that transforms our Heafey Gallery into a celebration of life’s beautiful, everyday moments.

Robinson’s intimate paintings invite you into her world of domestic bliss and gentle chaos, where cozy corners and cluttered tables become subjects worthy of artistic attention. Her work captures the poetry of lived-in spaces with warmth, humour, and just the right touch of whimsy that makes the ordinary feel magical.

Each painting is layered with personal significance – look closely and you’ll discover recurring elements that tell Robinson’s story: fragments of maps suggesting journeys taken and dreamed, chemistry notes from her academic past, mysterious bones, and wine glasses that appear throughout like friendly companions. These details create a visual language that speaks to the complexity and richness of a life fully lived.

“More Wine Please” perfectly embodies Central Stories’ mission to celebrate the stories that matter – the personal narratives that shape us, the objects that hold meaning, and the spaces where life unfolds. Robinson’s honest, joyful approach to her subject matter offers visitors a chance to reflect on their own domestic treasures and everyday rituals.
