Biography

Tyler Keeton Robbins (b. 1977) is a self-taught, multidisciplinary, and always evolving artist. Robbins consistently maintains a heavy illustrative style no matter his medium of choice. Growing up on the Pacific Northwest, the art of the surrounding First Nations as well as the illustrated subculture of skateboarding’s second wave had a huge impact on his aesthetic as he was coming of age in the 90s. Since then Robbins has exhibited internationally with works ranging from pen and paper, paintings, and murals of up-scaled mark making. He continues to explore the softer side of abstract symbolism, applying evocative form to diverse surfaces. He has worked closely with brands such as Starbucks, Burton, R.E.I., creating large scale prints for in store design, textile, and hard goods. Robbins currently lives in the Okanagan Valley with his family, working out of his studio at the Rotary Centre for the Arts in Kelowna BC.
