L’artiste canadienne, Robin Cameron fait de sa vie la matière première de sa création.
La narration du vécu est au cœur de son œuvre qu’elle décline en biographies codées, mythes personnels ou mises à nu totales.
Adossée à l’écriture, le dessin, le collage et la sculpture, l’œuvre de céramique de Robin Cameron sera pour la première fois exposée en France à la galerie Lefebvre & Fils.
Robin Cameron vit et travaille à New York. Une partie de ses écrits est conservée à la bibliothèque du MoMA et ses œuvres d'art ont été promises au Whitney Museum.
Born in 1981, lives and works in New York.
