Robyn O'Neil

Episode No. 416 features artist Robyn O'Neil. It was taped before a live audience at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth.

MAMFW is showing a 20-year survey of O'Neil's work titled "Robyn O'Neil: WE THE MASSES." The exhibition spotlights O'Neil's signature works of graphite-on-paper, many of which are multi-paneled. O'Neil's drawings have long addressed the landscape tradition and issues related to climate change, the human presence within nature, human struggles within nature, and the tenuousness and temporality of beauty. The exhibition was curated by Alison Hearst and will be on view through February 9, 2020.

Among the museums that have presented solo exhibitions of O'Neil's work are the Des Moines Art Center and the Contemporary Art Museum Houston. Her work is in many major collections, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Dallas Museum of Art, the Blanton Museum of Art, the MFA Houston, and of course MAMFW.
