ROBBIE AUSTIN
PAINTING | MIXED MEDIA

Polly Jones Artist, Studio Comfort Texas
ARTIST STATEMENT
My current works explore color, line, form, and pattern and are created on used
field book paper. I began working with field books after a hurricane blew my
tree and treehouse onto a neighbor’s property, exposing a trove of material.
She had boxes and boxes of these old books. I was enchanted. The paper is
stormproof. It’s infused with resin and has an inherent object-ness. The original
code-like markings make for dynamic and romantic springboards of
compositional play. I react to it. My son tells me these works are treasure maps. I
say treasure chests.

— Robbie Austin
ARTIST BIO
I’m an artist, a teacher, a father, and a husband – though that order fluctuates regularly.  I live in a 100-year-old house, in the town I was born, and I teach at the high school I graduated from.  Louisiana “bookends” my pilgrimage.  CalArts outfitted my art and philosophy.  UCLA cultivated it.  Los Angeles gave way to Houston.  Houston gave way to a studio fire and creative output shifted to my growing family.  Louisiana called.  We answered. I’ve exhibited from Los Angeles to New York, Houston to Frankfurt, and several places in between.
