Robin is preparing for her major new show at the Curwen and New Academy Gallery in London opening on March 7th, 2012. The show is entitled "The Still Point of the Turning World". Robin has been painting in New York, Paris and at her studio in South-West France. A trip to Peru, Chile, Argentina and Brazil in the spring of 2011 is the centre-piece of the show, and new paintings of Andean and Amazonian landscapes are important departures both formally and in terms of subject matter. There is an emerging verticality in the paintings which still maintain their concentration on light and colour and work on the margins of abstraction and figuration.

A sense of place is central. A sense of stillness is sought. A sense of the world is necessary.

A retrospective of her work will be held at the Chateau d'Excideuil in August 2012

Since her first show of figurative paintings in London in 1976, Robin Richmond's work has taken her all over the world. Her reputation as an artist is firmly established on both sides of the Atlantic with work in public and private collections, and 2010 will see her 25th solo show.

American-born, brought up in Rome, she moved to London in 1969, where she studied at Chelsea School of Art graduating with a B.A. in Fine Art and an M.A. in Art History. Her career has combined painting, University teaching, writing and broadcasting, and she now divides her time between her studios in London and in France.

She is a Fellow of Morse College, Yale University, where she was Artist in Residence in 2004.

She is an acclaimed author, illustrator and critic, and in 2006 published her 9^th book and founded The White Stork Press. Her books have been translated into 12 languages.
