Ro Robertson (b. 1984)

Robertson is an artist based at Porthmeor Studios, St Ives, whose practice spans sculpture, drawing, painting and video. Their work explores the boundaries between the human body and its environment, creating abstract forms that examine transformation, materiality and the relationship between physical and emotional landscapes.

For the exhibition, Robertson presents Constructed Landscape, comprising a three-part abstract steel sculpture installed before a large-scale automatic drawing made at To Moor the Sun in Sancreed, West Cornwall. Together, the works reflect an ongoing dialogue between body, place and process. Robertson’s public commissions include Drench at the Sainsbury Centre Sculpture Park, Norwich, and Stone (Butch) at Yorkshire Sculpture Park, as well as participation in Frieze Sculpture 2022. Their work is held in the collections of Arts Council England, the Government Art Collection, Leeds Art Gallery, York Art Gallery, Yorkshire Sculpture Park, the British Museum, the Sainsbury Centre and The Hepworth Wakefield.
