Artists and Brothers, The Robbins Twins Paint Kinfolk Gold

April 22, 2014 | admin |

“We came into the world like brother and brother; And now let’s go hand in hand, not one before another,” wrote William Shakespeare in his Comedy of Errors. The quote and the entire play are about twins, two separate sets actually, separated at birth only to somehow connect with half of the other set. Eventually, they all cross paths and [SPOILER ALERT] hijinx ensue. It’s one of Shakesie’s wackiest productions and lends itself to reinterpretation based on the fact that twins were, and are still, a very curious enterprise. They look and in many instances sound exactly the same but how much alike are they really? The obvious answer is that it varies from case to case, but in this particular instance, that of Kinfolk’s Jeff and Will Robbins, twins can utilize both what they do and don’t have in common to create something that speaks for the both of them. The Robbins brothers are lifelong artists who have most recently collaborated on a mural for the paneled sidewall of Kinfolk 90. For this installment of “This Is Kinfolk,” they gave us some insight into their vision and a behind the scenes look their process. Be sure to check out more of our original Kinfolklife TV content here and come by Kinfolk 90 to view the mural in its entirety.
