Biography
Robert Robbins is an internationally exhibited visual artist who explores issues of social, political, and environmental conflict through landscape as subject. His art, which takes the form of large-scale paintings, on the surface appears straight-forward, but on closer inspection leaves the viewer to contemplate their position in the world.
Robbins received his M.F.A. in Painting/Printmaking from Yale University and his B.F.A. in Fine Arts from the Columbus College of Art and Design. His work has been awarded fellowships from the Macdowell Colony, the Ohio Arts Council, and the Greater Columbus Arts Council. Robbin's work has been exhibited at the Butler Institute, The Chateau Museum (Rochefort-En-Terre), Springfield Museum of Art (OH), Sears / Peyton Gallery (NY), Carnegie Center for the Visual Arts (KY), Morehead University, Florida State University, Cleveland State University and the Maryland Institute of Art, among others. His work is included in the collections of the Nord Family Foundation, the Columbus Metropolitan Library, and the Ohio State University.
