Isaiah Robertson, also known as Prophet Isaiah, created intricate art with religious symbols near Niagara Falls, based on his vision of the apocalypse. His kaleidoscopic assemblages adorned his home inside and out, standing out in the neighborhood.
"He wouldn't even take credit for it. He said it was God moving his hand." - Fred Scruton, describing Robertson's humble perspective on his art, which attracted visitors and sparked meaningful interactions in the community.
After Robertson's death in 2020, efforts were made to preserve his home with the elaborate art installations. The Kohler Foundation expressed interest in saving the art environment, considering it 'something magical in this low-income residential area'.
