Robin Kerr

Robin Kerr, a contemporary New Zealand painter currently based in Portland, Oregon, has been fully devoted to fine art since 2021, transitioning from a previous part-time role as an illustrator. Despite lacking a formal degree in the arts, Kerr is a self-taught artist who has consistently found joy in the act of creation. Witnessing others derive enjoyment from her creations brings her immense satisfaction.

As an immigrant, Kerr often occupies a state of permanent observation and limbo. This unique perspective is reflected in her art - fusion of large, bold shapes and intricate, scribbly lines, featuring blocks of dominant color punctuated by specks of contrast. Her work exhibits a juxtaposition of clean edges and smudged overlays, creating a visual language that mirrors the dichotomy of certainty and uncertainty.

Kerr's art captures the essence of her immigrant experience, showcasing a blend of elements that may appear positive alongside others that are more akin to educated guesses, introducing a level of tension and perhaps even confusion. Her work presents things as they seem to be, not necessarily as she knows them to be. This deliberate ambiguity adds layers of interest and accessibility, as viewers can relate to the inherent uncertainty depicted in Kerr's captivating and thought-provoking creations.
