The feeling of being drawn forward by something you didn't choose — the title names it exactly. Robbie Austin (MFA, UCLA; BFA, CalArts) returned to his hometown of Lake Charles, Louisiana, and this body of work is rooted there — painted on field book pages that already carry the marks of another life.

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.
