CAMERON ROBBINS

  • Cameron Robbins is an Australian artist. His art practice is studio and site-based. He works to make tangible the underlying structures and rhythms of natural forces in many different locations. His art-inquiries often employ sculptural mechanical systems which help explore the unseen worlds of energy around us. The outputs of these site-specific investigations include drawings, photographs and sound compositions. Cameron’s interpretations of the dynamics and scale of the physical world suggest the complexities of the unknown.

    Cameron Robbins has produced site-specific installations and exhibitions in art centres, disused buildings and outdoor sites in Australia, Switzerland, Japan, Norway, China, Denmark, Germany and the UK.

    Cameron was the first Australian artist invited to present a large scale solo exhibition, ‘Field Lines’, at the Museum of Old and New Art, Tasmania, in 2016, where he also recently completed a major permanent 50-year wind drawing installation.

    Cameron works from Castlemaine Victoria, and travels constantly with his work. He also creates music, playing clarinet and saxophone in jazz and experimental ensembles.

    Cameron studied Fine Art (Sculpture) at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and the Victorian College of the Arts to 1990; lectured in art and design at RMIT; awarded Australia Council Visual Arts Fellowship in 2015, and New Work Grants in 2011 and 2013, and various commissions and residencies.
