Painting & Drawing Artist's Talk Series presents: ROBBIN DEYO

Montreal-based artist Robbin Deyo's practice is autobiographic and intuitive and spans diverse media, using logic and play to devise new systems and methods of production for each material or tool explored. This has included the use of kitchen utensils, cake decorating tools, cookie cutters and more recently the children's toy Super Spirograph. Connecting these works is an interest in form, an exploration of multiples and repetition, and an engagement in labor intensive and process-based practices that reflect a particular interest in objects, activities and aesthetics that are traditionally defined as feminine. Although the impetus often comes from personal experience, the resulting artwork is formal, bridging material and time-based aspects of production to the intricacies of today's world.
 
Born and raised in the Lower Mainland of BC, Deyo received her BFA from The Emily Carr Institute of Art & Design in 1995 and completed a MFA from Concordia University in1998. Since 1995 her work has been presented in exhibitions across Canada and internationally. Her most recent video animations were recently exhibited at the Musée Nationale de Beaux-arts du Québec in the group exhibition Les matins Infidèle, L'art du protocol.Her work is represented by the Paul Kuhn Gallery in Calgary, Alberta.
