Robert Tombs Studio → selected projects
Robert was a 2007 Landfall Trust artist-in-residence at Brigus, Newfoundland. While there he made the painted installation Brigus Mark. The residency was funded by the Canada Council, The Rooms Provincial Art Gallery and Landfall Trust. In April 2008, Robert created Erfurt Window at glassbox, Erfurt University, Germany. Erfurt Window, a temporary painted installation, comprised vigorous grisaille brushstrokes loosely covering all glass surfaces of this late-modernist cube, a bookstore from DDR times. In borrowing glass-painting technique from 'the Magic Lantern slide,' Robert transformed glassbox into a translucent prism through which to view scenes of actual Erfurt outside. Robert has written that 'Erfurt Window implicated paint within the context of Erfurt's extraordinary site.' This includes its university founded in 1392, a medieval town centre, the detritus of WWII aerial bombing and many pre-fab concrete structures built while part of East Germany. A laudatio was given at the opening by Dr. Kai-Uwe Schierz, Director of Kunsthalle Erfurt. While in Germany, Robert delivered the lecture 'Smudge' at the Audimax, Bauhaus-University Weimar. The presentation, introduced by Jay Rutherford, Professor of Visual Communications at Bauhaus-University Weimar, offered an intimate view of Robert's artistic evolution and included the first showing of the video Brigus Mark. In June 2009, Robert was inducted into the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts in Calgary. His trip west included meet and greets, lectures by architects and artists including Jeremy Sturgess, Sorel Cohen and Garry Neill Kennedy, exhibits by RCA members and even a side trip to the badlands of Drumheller to see the dinosaur collection of the Royal Tyrrell Museum. Great time, new acquaintances! The Fall 2009 issue of Devil's Artisan includes Robert's cover feature 'Arnaud Maggs: Back to Ink.' In his essay Robert looked to Maggs's early graphic works, beginning in the late 1940s, and argued for their fundamental importance in the development of his aesthetic vocabulary as a photographer.
