RESUME

Andrew Cornell Robinson Born in 1968 in Camden, NJ, I grew up between rural farm life and suburban NYC. An apprenticeship with an Anglo-Japanese ceramist sparked my fascination with abstraction and craft. I hold a BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art and an MFA from the School of Visual Arts. My work, featured in over 100 exhibitions. Noteworthy highlights include a solo exhibition “Salted Not Sugared”, at the Ben Shahn Center for the Visual Arts. I was a participating artist in the Whitney Biennial's Debtfair project, and my work was included in "What We Make, Black Quantum Futurism" at the Ross Art Museum. I live and work in NYC where I am a member of the faculty at Parsons School of Design and Greenwich House Pottery.

Bio

Born 1968 in Camden, New Jersey, into a family of artists, writers, and bootleggers, Robinson moved at a young age to suburban ennui, where he grew up with his time split between a remote farm along the Delaware River and the post industrial outskirts of New York City. After having apprenticed to a potter for eight years, he studied ceramic sculpture at the Glasgow School of Art in Scotland, and the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore from which he received his BFA 1991. He pursued an MFA in painting at the School of Visual Arts 1994. After he moved to New York City in 1992 he began a daily drawing practice that continues to this day and informs an expansive visual vocabulary used in his paintings on canvas, paper, and porcelain.
