INTRODUCING: ROBIN TARBET

Robin Tarbet, conducts a curious, and almost childlike, line of enquiry in his exploration of everday trinkets via method of dissection and disassembly. Robin's practice is concerned with the physical materiality of consumer products and commonplace technology, which he approaches with a wondrous and inquiring perspective. 

Monitored Landscape series: Stills #6

His work questions the stuff that is concealed on the inside of a computer, or whether there is anything to find behind the façade of the television screen. Whilst interested in the corporeality of objects, Tarbet is also enchanted by the ability of the seemingly inanimate device to become lifelike and make something happen. 

Monitored Landscape series: Still #5

Robin graduated from The Royal College of Art in 2006 with an MA in Fine Art Printmaking and has had collections at the Royal Academy of the Arts and a solo exhibition at the Trafo Gallery in Budapest. In 2012 Robin was commissioned to create artwork for a ping pong table for the final olympic weekend at Hyde Park London. The Ping Pong table is now permanently installed in Soho Square.
