The title suggests authority — something in the work that demands to be noticed. Robbie Austin is an artist, teacher, husband, and father based in Lake Charles, Louisiana. His mixed media works begin with the material: used field book pages whose existing marks become as much a part of the piece as the paint applied to them.

Original acrylic on used field book paper. Framed in wood and bamboo. 10 × 8 inches. Signed. One of a kind.

ROBBIE AUSTIN

Robbie Austin is an artist, a teacher, a father, and a husband – though that order fluctuates regularly.  He lives in a 112-year-old house, in the town he was born, one-half mile from his high school alma mater, where he has taught for 18 years. Louisiana “bookends” his pilgrimage.  

CalArts outfitted his art and philosophy.  UCLA cultivated it. 

Los Angeles gave way to Houston.  Houston gave way to a studio fire and creative output shifted to his growing family.  Louisiana called.  They answered.

Robbie has exhibited from Los Angeles to New York, Houston to Frankfurt, and several places in between.
