Levi Robb’s work explores the entanglement of person and context — time and atmosphere. With a focus on the formal objectivity of place, the work is influenced by human interface with environment, landscape, and artifact. Through acts of printmaking, sculpture, installation and an interaction with locality the work emerges, a visual interpretation and record of an act in context. Through the analysis, manipulation and reinterpretation of latent items and specific spatial conditions the work takes on a continual timeline with an inherent connection to the past. This process yields a unique body of formal objects that speak to cultural identity and concretize the idea of contemporary relics. Robb's recent body of work incorporates visual vocabularies stemming from the intersection of human and landscape. Domestication of land over time, depletion of wildness, and the objectivity left behind through the process of human living are underlying themes found throughout the collection. The work invites the viewer to consider the reciprocal relationship of human and landscape — what people and culture hold to be sacred, what is considered commodity, and the impact of time. Robb was a 2020 Iowa Arts Council Fellowship recipient. His work has been exhibited internationally and is held in both public and private collections.
