Английская Википедия:Carole Robb
Carole Robb (1943) is a British artist and member of the National Academy of Design in New York City. She lives between New York City, Rome, Venice, and London.
Early life and education
Robb was born in Port Glasgow, Scotland in 1943 and studied painting at the Glasgow School of Art (1961–65). She has said that the “Glasgow School of Art shaped my studio discipline; no effort without error, but it was the harsh Scottish weather that shaped the internal life of my imagination.”[1] She also studied at the University of Reading under Terry Frost, where she earned her Master of Fine Arts in 1979. That year she was awarded a British Arts Council award in painting from Greater London Arts Association and won the British Rome Prize in painting from the Royal Commission, London and spent 1979 to 1980 in Rome.[2] Following this she went to New York City on a Fulbright artist fellowship from 1980 to 1981.[3]
Art practice
Robb is a figurative painter, building on the hours of life drawing required at the Glasgow School of Art.[1] Her work engages with mythology, which she first encountered in school, where she studied Greek and Latin.[1] Film is also influential. The compositions in her series Showers with Heroes (2018) extend from her memories of films like Federico Fellini’s La Dolce Vita (1960) and Clint Eastwood's performance in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966).[4]
Robb has exhibited with the Forum Gallery, New York (1982–1996);[5] the Robert Steele Gallery, New York (2006–2008);[6] the Denise Bibro Gallery, New York (2016–2018),[7] and with Tibaldi Arte Contemporanea, Rome (2020).[8]
her institutional exhibitions include Arnolfini Gallery, Bristol, UK (1979);[9] National Theatre Gallery London;[10] and the South London Gallery (1983).[11]
Robb was elected a member of the National Academy of Design, New York in 2010.[12]
Awards and honors
Robb received a British Arts Council award in painting (GLAA) in 1979[13] and a Fulbright Fellowship from the UK to the USA (1980–81).[14] She was awarded numerous artist residencies in the US from 1980 to 1987, including at the MacDowell Colony in New Hampshire (1981).[15]
