ABOUT THE ARTIST: Robyn Grove is an Australian contemporary figurative artist, working out of the Juddy Roller Studios in Melbourne. Her current body of work is a representational style of portraiture, where both the physical and intimate character of her subjects are captured with great sensitivity. She also dabbles in the tradition of Vanitas still life; contemplating life, death and the space between.

As alumni of Sydney’s The Julian Ashton Art School, Robyn maintains the school’s Atelier perspective that drawing and anatomical study are critical aspects of painting, Following this tradition, she’s a regular at Melbourne’s many themed life drawing groups. This fascination with human anatomy breathes life into her works; however, she’s not happy to simply capture appearances. Getting to know her subjects allows Robyn to gain an understanding of their interests, philosophies on life, motivations and past-times, providing her portraits with an insight to the psyche beyond the physical.
