Eikṓns III | 2024

Simon Lee Robson's Eikṓns III culminates the series, offering singular, handmade Byzantine Greek and Russian Eastern Orthodox icons that reflect both the enduring power of Orthodox tradition and Robson’s evolving, artisanal vision.

These mixed-media originals honour the profound traditions of Orthodox Christian art while introducing a contemporary, artisanal sensibility.

Saint John the Forerunner icon

Sacred focus

With the Eikṓns series, Robson focuses on the sacred, producing icons that reflect the profound depth and timelessness of Orthodox tradition.

Each handmade piece features a decoupage print on reclaimed wood and layered with subtle washes of egg tempera, stainers, varnish, and water lacquer.

Expertly distressed to evoke the gentle patina of aged sacred art, some icons are further enhanced by elegant gilt or natural wood frames, amplifying their devotional presence.

This meticulous devotion reflects Robson’s reverence for the sacred and enduring power of iconography.

The Crucifixion icon

Living tradition

These icons can be displayed individually or curated together to create a contemplative sanctuary within the home.

These singular originals offer collectors a rare opportunity to acquire a work of living tradition.

A select group of early prototypes, previously held in Robson’s studio, are also available, offering an intimate glimpse into the evolution of the Eikṓns series, simpler, unfinished, yet profoundly expressive of the artist’s vision.

Eikṓns III stands as a testament to the enduring power of Orthodox iconography, where devotion, craftsmanship, and contemporary artistry converge in an exceptional collection for discerning collectors.
