Printmaker Robbin Juris
studied surface and textile design at Fashion Institute
of Technology and ceramics at Chelsea Ceramics Guild,
after attending graduate school in English literature at
Columbia University. She has had a solo show of
raku-fired ceramic vessels at the Chelsea Ceramics Guild
Gallery and two solo shows of prints at the Treetops
Chamber Music Society. She was a finalist in the Hammond
Museum's 2010 Tri-State Competition for Emerging Artists.
Her print entitled "The Center Cannot Hold" was
selected by Ann Coffin, Founder and Director of
International Print Center New York, for the 2nd Biennial
Footprint International Print Exhibition at the Center
for Contemporary Printmaking. In addition to her work as
an artist, Robbin has had a multifaceted career as a
magazine editor, including managing the news section of
PC Magazine. Here she developed a strong interest in
using computers as a medium for printmaking.
Robbin has been working on several large series of prints
that explore the complex patterns and dynamic processes
of the natural world. In her color prints, Robbin uses
fractal geometry and its infinitely recursive properties
as a starting point for abstraction. These color prints
are unified by their use of shapes that preserve their
detailed structure in all scales. Thus, what viewers see
on the surface of a print is also what they might see if
they could zoom into a print in real time. In her
black-and-white work, Robbin examines the transformative
effects of forces such as wave patterns on universal
forms. Themes that recur in Robbin’s work include
the seemingly paradoxical interdependence of chaos and
order and the mysterious relationships among forms in
nature.
Originally from New York City, Robbin lives in Stamford,
Connecticut, with her husband and their two sons.
