Meet Painted Pieces artist Nette Robinson! Learn more about Robinson’s artwork in the current exhibition Painted Pieces: Art Chess from Purling London. The discussion will cover works including Spoils of the Ocean, a jewel-toned chess set addressing plastic pollution and climate change; Stars and Stripes Kings, which reference iconic American imagery; and a special St. Basil’s Cathedral-inspired chess set available exclusively for play in Chess Ultra—a fully-immersive virtual reality game.
